Therapy for the strong and sensitive

I specialize in working with those who are sensitive, over-thinking, often high-achieving and who are struggling with chronic overwhelm, over-empathy, anxiety, social anxiety, guilt, relationship issues, and imposter syndrome to no longer feel chronically overwhelmed, over-committed and depleted, and to feel more alive, confident and present.

From my experience, anxiety can be felt differently for each person, and some of the most common ways that it shows up include feeling:
  • On edge and tense
  • Irritable, stressed and overwhelmed
  • Guilty and scared
  • Frazzled and worried
  • A sense of impending doom 
  • Anticipating that bad thing happening that you worry will happen
