My life’s passion is providing therapy for fellow deep feelers. Our emotions play an essential role in our lives: They tell us what we need and what we value most. If you’re a Highly Sensitivity Person (HSP), or if you experience anxiety or depression, they can also be the source of immense suffering. Some seasons of life bring painful emotions that overwhelm us so completely that we close our hearts. Every day is a battle to maintain control by numbing, avoiding, or unleashing our pain on others and ourselves. Eventually we get so stuck that we lose sight of ourselves and the way forward. I get it, and I can help. Through therapy, you’ll learn to embrace the depth and intensity of your emotions, build skills to regulate them, and set boundaries to protect your energy. When you give your emotions the care and attention they deserve they become wise teachers guiding you on your path toward authenticity, peace, and purpose. It’s time to open your heart to new possibilities. Let’s begin…

The strength you need to heal already exists within you
People often come to therapy feeling wrong or broken. This is especially true for us deep feelers who live in a culture that dismisses our natural gifts and tells us that we’re “too much”. But let’s say you’re a flower. If a flower isn’t blooming, we don’t ask what’s wrong with the flower. Instead, we take a look at the flower’s environment and make the changes necessary to support its growth. There’s nothing wrong with you—it actually takes profound resilience to live in this world when you feel so intensely. Therapy is about shining a light on the strengths that have gotten you this far and using those same strengths to change your environment into one made for flourishing.
