Are you a child, teen or adult who feels big emotions deeply? Are you highly-sensitive to your environment and to others? Do you feel out of control of your emotions and have a hard time coming back to center? I specialize in treating highly-sensitive and deeply feeling people living with ADHD, Autism, Phobias, Anxiety & OCD. All of these can feel like a loss of control and it can be a really hard place to be in without support.

I tailor your therapy to meet your needs, ensuring personalized care just for you. I use CBT, DBT, Somatic Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, EMDR Therapy.
