Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
If you’ve ever been told you’re too sensitive, too emotional, or need to toughen up, you’re not alone. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people who feel deeply impacted by their environment, emotions, or relationships. Together we use somatic therapy and creative tools to help you understand your sensitivity as a strength and build nervous system regulation so you can move through the world with more ease.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Being a highly sensitive person isn't a weakness. It's a way of experiencing the world with greater depth, awareness, and emotional intensity. While these qualities can be tremendous strengths, they can also leave you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or exhausted. Therapy can help you better understand your sensitivity, develop boundaries that protect your energy, and embrace this part of yourself with greater confidence and self-compassion.

Michael Nakhla
Psychiatrist, MD
High sensitivity is a neurological trait, not a flaw, and I help HSPs understand and embrace their unique way of processing the world. My work focuses on developing strategies to manage overstimulation and emotional intensity while honoring the depth, empathy, and creativity that sensitivity brings. Together we'll transform what may have felt like a burden into one of your greatest strengths.
