When You Feel Everything Deeply
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or that you “care too much,” you may be what’s known as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — someone whose nervous system is more finely tuned to the world around them. I understand this on a personal level — I’m an HSP myself. Being highly sensitive is not a flaw; it’s a temperament trait shared by about 20% of people. It means your mind and body process information and emotion more deeply. You notice subtleties, feel others’ moods, and reflect deeply — yet that same sensitivity can make life feel overwhelming, especially when faced with stress, criticism, or conflict.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you embrace sensitivity as a strength while learning tools to manage its challenges. Together, we’ll focus on:
Calming the inner critic that tells you you’re “too much”
Reducing anxiety and emotional exhaustion from overstimulation
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Building confidence to share your true self with others
Developing emotional tools that turn sensitivity into insight and intuition
Our work will be both structured and gentle — blending neuroscience, mindfulness, and humor to help you feel grounded, capable, and at peace in your own skin.
I BELIEVE:
Sensitivity is not weakness — it’s awareness, empathy, and depth.
You can be both strong and soft, confident and cautious, independent and deeply connected.
Boundaries are not walls; they’re invitations to authentic connection.
You deserve a life that feels calm, balanced, and safe for your sensitive nervous system.
Healing doesn’t mean hardening — it means learning to stay open without being overwhelmed.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer therapy for highly sensitive people from a framework that honors sensitivity as a meaningful and adaptive way of experiencing the world. Our work may include understanding how heightened emotional, sensory, and relational awareness can be both a strength and a source of overwhelm, especially in busy environments. Together, we focus on building self-compassion for your superpower, strengthening boundaries to help your nervous system down regulate, and developing sustainable tools, such as pacing, to care for your nervous system. These techniques can help highly sensitive people live with greater ease and authenticity in their bodies, rather than feeling like their natural system is something that needs to be changed or fixed.

Alyssa Habschmidt
Therapist, AMFT
I know what it's like to feel things deeply, have a heightened awareness of others, and be tuned into details that others may miss. You may be empathetic, creative, and deeply thoughtful—yet often told you're "too sensitive" or "overthinking." Stress, noise, and fast-paced environments can feel overwhelming, especially when you don't feel fully understood. I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people in deepening insight, honoring their sensitivity, and creating meaningful, self-led lives.

Eve Angela Fritsch

Being a highly sensitive person is NOT a weakness. You may feel emotions deeply, become overwhelmed more easily, or notice things that other people do not. I help highly sensitive individuals and couples better understand this unique quality. Together, we will learn how to work with your sensitivity instead of feeling controlled by it.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with highly sensitive people, I start by getting to know your unique internal landscape—your sensory experiences, emotional responses, and how sensitivity shows up in your daily life. Together, we explore how your system moves through the world, and how environments not designed for sensitivity can lead to overwhelm. I work to normalize and contextualize these experiences, highlighting the strength in sensitivity while also acknowledging the need for support and maintenance.
Our work focuses on helping you better understand and care for your system, especially during moments when your capacity feels limited. We build strategies that are sustainable and compassionate—rooted in somatic awareness, parts work, and self-understanding—so you can move through the world in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than working against it.
