Are you feeling the weight of the world? Do you feel things more deeply than others or sometimes feel like an alien on this planet? Are you exhausted even when you're trying your best to hold everything together? Have you been told you are "too sensitive," or wondered why others seem able to do things that overwhelm you? If you feel others' emotions and identify as an empath, you may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). I specialize in helping highly sensitive, neurodivergent women and children, including ADHD, empaths, and neurodivergent teens, who feel overwhelmed, burned out, misunderstood. You are not too much. You belong here.

Highly Sensitive People make up about 1 in 5 people, and many are also neurodivergent. Being highly sensitive does not cause anxiety or depression, but it can make life feel more intense and overwhelming. My specialty is helping highly sensitive and neurodivergent women and children understand their nervous system and use their sensitivity as a strength.

As a Highly Sensitive, Neurodivergent, multi-exceptional homeschool mom, I know what it feels like to pour everything into everyone else and have nothing left for yourself. In therapy we work on saying "no" without guilt, letting go of emotions that are not yours to carry, and building a life that works with your system strengths, not against them.
