Somatic, Trauma-Informed Therapy for Sensitive, Insightful, and Deep-Feeling Adults

Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) in a fast-moving, demanding world can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re a trauma survivor or someone who has spent years taking care of everyone else first.

You feel deeply. You notice everything. You care immensely.
But your sensitivity isn’t the problem—the problem is that you’ve never had support that truly honors it.

You deserve a space where your emotional depth, intuition, and way of moving through the world are understood, not pathologized.

The world asks you to toughen up.

Your sensitivity has asked you to slow down and listen.

Many highly sensitive people seek counseling because they’re:

  • Overwhelmed by emotions or sensory input

  • Exhausted from carrying others’ needs

  • Struggling with burnout or compassion fatigue

  • Feeling “too much” or “not enough”

  • Overthinking or feeling pressure to perform

  • Disconnected from their own needs

  • Longing for deeper connection and ease

You shouldn’t have to struggle silently.
Your sensitivity is not a flaw—it’s an incredible strength. It just needs the right support.

Therapy that honors your sensitivity—not asks you to override it

With nearly 20 years of experience supporting HSPs, trauma survivors, and sensitive high-achieving professionals, I offer a warm, grounded, somatically-centered approach designed specifically for people who feel deeply.

My approach weaves together:

  • Somatic therapy to regulate your sensitive nervous system

  • Trauma-informed care that supports safety and pacing

  • Mind-body awareness to help you reconnect with your intuition

  • Attachment-focused therapy to strengthen boundaries and relationships

  • Anti-oppressive, compassionate support that honors your lived experience

You don’t have to become less sensitive to feel more stable—
you only need support that understands how your sensitivity works.
