Highly sensitive people often experience the world with remarkable depth while also becoming more vulnerable to emotional overwhelm. Therapy helps you understand your sensitivity, strengthen regulation, and transform sensitivity into one of your greatest strengths.
I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.
Sensitivity is not a weakness to overcome. When understood and supported, it can become a source of insight, creativity, compassion, and resilience. Together we'll help you thrive without feeling overwhelmed by the world around you.

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
A Highly Sensitive Person is someone who feels deeply. If you consider yourself a HSP, you may experience emotions on a deep level, have heightened sensitivity to certain sights, sounds, smells, and textures. This can also mean you feel things deeply in relationships with others, and are often influenced by the emotions of others. Therapy can be helpful in learning more about this superpower, without it overwhelming you.

I often treat highly sensitive individuals. This treatment process includes learning how to manage these daily feelings, but also learning about how high sensitivity can be utilized as a positive tool in daily life.
