You feel your feelings (and the feelings of others) deeply, notice little details, have a deep connection to nature, and can be prone to overwhelm. Maybe you already know you're a highly sensitive person (HSP) but you haven't embraced it yet. I love to help HSPs find greater ease in their lives by learning more about the trait, seeing it as a strength, setting healthy boundaries with self and others, and learning and integrating emotional regulation skills. Ultimately, I want to help you embrace your sensitivity as the strength that it is. I also specialize in trauma and depression and help clients get "unstuck".
First and foremost, the relationship you have with your counselor is crucial. I am down to earth, gentle, and real and invite you to be the same with me. I strive to create a relationship with you in which you feel fully accepted and seen. With this foundation in place, I draw from several techniques including EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness strategies.
If you are interested in working with a counselor who is intentional yet gentle, I would love to speak with you about working together to find more peace and groundedness in your life. I'm happy to set up a free consultation call; just send me a message.
