Accepting New Clients. Many who find success working with me come in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry, or unable to focus. They may see themselves as overly emotional, sensitive, or even “broken,” making daily life and relationships difficult. I help uncover root causes and provide tools to restore peace of mind. With over 25 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families, I specialize in Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and Empaths facing anxiety, depression, or trauma. As an HSP myself, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to help clients heal and thrive.
I can help you identify the root issues causing your current situation and provide you with tools that work to find peace of mind. I specialize in Highly Sensitive People (HSP’s) and Empaths who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or more serious trauma.
My personal experiences help me relate to the people I work with. As an HSP/empath, I have experienced depression and anxiety and know how it can affect a child at school, an adult at work, and a parent trying to make it until bedtime. Professionally I have worked with children and families to provide counseling and parent coaching for over 25 years.
