About My Clients

Are you a highly sensitive, creative, and gifted individual who often struggles with intense emotions, overthinking, and a deep need for meaning and purpose? Do you often feel lonely, anxious, or misunderstood because you identify as a "depth creature"? I will help you navigate these complexities with compassion and expertise. From managing overstimulation, anxiety, and perfectionism to nurturing creativity and finding your life's purpose, I provide the guidance and support you need to thrive.

My Background and Approach

I am highly relational, intuitive, and compassionate. I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your unique challenges, discover your strengths, and develop effective coping strategies. My approach combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a personalized touch to address your specific needs. My integrative approach is informed by a few core theories, including attachment, relational, mindfulness-based, psychodynamic, internal family systems, and somatic (body-based). I am a certified yoga teacher in Integrative Yoga therapy and often incorporate elements of mindfulness, breath, and somatic awareness into our counseling sessions together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I wholeheartedly embrace neurodiversity, recognizing that every individual's mind and body is wonderfully unique. My identity as a Highly Sensitive Person informs my work with others who identify as sensitive, intelligent, creative, curious, deep thinkers and feelers. With compassionate guidance, I can help you embrace your sensitivity as a strength and cultivate resilience to navigate life's complexities. I will help empower you to find your voice, set boundaries, and embrace self-care practices that support your well-being. Like an orchid in gentle care, you have the ability to inspire and bring beauty to the world. Let us be partners in this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
