Therapy for Highly Sensitive People
Counseling for Highly Sensitive adults available in-person in the greater Nashville region and online across the state of Tennessee
You may be here because you’ve heard messages throughout your life that you’re too sensitive. You notice that you think and feel more deeply than others and often feel misunderstood. Loud noises, big crowds, and hectic schedules overwhelm you, leaving you desperate for alone time to recover. You feel exhausted from absorbing other people’s emotions, and at the same time struggle to set boundaries to protect your energy. Shame is always lurking in the background, whispering that there’s something wrong with you. After all, everyone else seems to be managing more easily.
If you relate to these statements, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) – see hsperson.com. High sensitivity is a normal, healthy temperament trait that exists in 20% of the population. HSPs have extra-sensitive nervous systems and are more deeply affected by their internal and external environments. Translation: your nervous system gets thrown off easily. The good news is there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not alone. I specialize in helping HSPs create the peaceful, balanced lives they long for by recognizing their sensitivity as their most profound strength rather than a problem to be fixed.
Big hearts mean big feelings
As your therapist, I offer a safe, compassionate relationship where your sensitivity is cherished and celebrated. Through our work together, you’ll learn about your trait of high sensitivity, getting to know the strengths and challenges that come with the package. You’ll build skills to manage sensory overload, move through intense emotions, and set boundaries that allow you to experience more fulfilling relationships while protecting your peace. I’ll help you drop the shame and let go of our culture’s unrealistic expectations so you can finally give yourself a break. When you live in alignment with your true nature, life becomes more manageable. The chronic overwhelm subsides, and in its place springs joy, creativity, and connection.
I provide counseling in a safe, inclusive space where all identities are welcomed and affirmed.
