About My Clients

You've been told that you're "too much" or "being extra." You've been told this a lot actually. And every time you hear this, the cut digs a little deeper. After awhile, you start to think maybe they're right. Why else would you be so picky? Why else would you dig your nails into your skin to keep from crying? Why else would you come home and burst into tears “for no reason.” Why else would you feel so chronically overwhelmed? If you relate, you may be a highly sensitive person.

My Background and Approach

I have over 11 years experience helping individuals, families, teens, and children of diverse populations in Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, and the Tri-state area. I am an LGBTQIA ally and have experience assisting military service members and their families. I'm licensed to practice in both NJ and PA. My specialty is working with neurodivergent and highly sensitive people, particularly those high achievers who may be navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, or a new diagnosis. Compassion and mindfulness based therapy with me can help. I nurture a warm and safe space for us so you can explore your inner sensitivities with more clarity and self compassion. Is your goal to understand yourself better? Is it to show up more authentically as your true self in relationships? Let's work on things important to you for your personal growth and wellness. Call or email for a free consultation to answer your questions and chat about things like what to expect during sessions, my approach, billing, etc.
