Being a Highly Sensitive Person in this chaotic, fast-paced world can feel overwhelming. In a desperate attempt to hold it all together, you may be quietly losing touch with yourself. Maybe food, exercise, or body image have become a source of struggle, or perfectionism and self-doubt are keeping you stuck. Perhaps there's an inner critic constantly telling you that you’re too much, or somehow not enough. You’re tired of feeling like you have to control, fix, or change yourself just to feel okay. Therapy can help you find a different way: one that makes room for your sensitivity instead of treating it like a problem.

Treatment Approach
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
Approach Description: My approach is warm and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own experience, and our work together begins with understanding where you are now and where you want to go. Person-centered and existential-humanistic therapy provide the foundation for our work, with an emphasis on authenticity, self-understanding, and creating a space where you can be fully yourself without fear of judgment. When helpful and for those interested, I also incorporate EMDR to help you process painful experiences and shift patterns that may continue to affect you in the present.
Throughout therapy, we'll work at a pace that feels manageable while staying curious about the parts of you that have learned to cope through control, perfectionism, avoidance, or disconnection. The goal isn't to "fix" who you are, but to help you feel more at home in yourself.
