Do you feel everything in the world, both joys and sorrows, deeply? Are you sensitive or feel that others don't "get" you? Do others consider you gifted, even if you don't? Are life transitions or even everyday life stresses difficult for you? Have you been diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or a mood disorder? If so, I can help. My clients are often smart, skilled, and talented, but struggle in reaching what they feel is their full potential. Often, they feel like others don't see them and even that they don't know themselves.
Being unseen is itself a trauma. Giftedness and high sensitivity make one neuro-atypical, yet they are rarely acknowledged as such. Together, we can explore your gifts and sensitivities and how you can manifest them in everyday life, as well as how to handle and express the depths of your thoughts and feelings in a world built for "normal."
I work with people of all ages who are able to participate in teletherapy. My multi-disciplinary background (law, developmental and cognitive psychology, neurotherapy, counseling) provides given me the foundation to see and connect with the many facets of my clients. It is my honor to hear their stories.
