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

  • Struggles with anxiety, social anxiety and depression
  • Problematic dating and relationship patterns
  • Experiencing or anticipating an upcoming major life change
  • Struggling with a lack of connection in your romantic relationship
  • Navigating complex grief, the loss of a loved one, or the loss of something meaningful in life

I regularly work with moms who are sensitive, overwhelmed, and struggling with adjusting to their new (or not so new) normal. 
  • Develop more confidence and calm in your role as a parent
  • Reconnect with yourself -your passions, relationships and hobbies
  • Decrease the guilt you feel around taking great care of yourself too
  • Develop strategies to reduce the overwhelm you are experiencing
  • Explore the thoughts that you’re having in a safe judgment-free space 
  • Understand which coping strategies work best for you
  • Get support, know that you’re not alone and things can get much better

Dating and Relationships

06/

You’ve tried the apps. You have tried singles mixers, maybe even speed dating. You have let your friends help you. Maybe you have tried dating coaching, or even tried a matchmaker… you are wondering how you are still single. Maybe have had the feedback that you need to do deeper work, or the gut feeling that there are patterns that you cannot seem to undo despite your best efforts; patterns of anxiety, fear, and possibly anxious or avoidant ways of showing up to dating. You fear that you will stay single and the thought of ending up alone frightens you. You will try anything, even therapy for dating. Welcome!
