You’re a deep feeler and things stick with you. It’s hard to let go of the day and move on, and sometimes you’re scared if you do, you’ll miss something important. You hold a lot of emotion in your body, and it’s hard to feel it all.

You’re reflective and self-aware, and yet no matter how much you seem to learn and grow, you feel stagnant.

Some of my favorite people to work with are sensitive. They often come to therapy believing their sensitivity is a hindrance and have trouble seeing it for what it really is: a super power.

Sensitive people are attuned, thoughtful, and make some of the best friends, workers, and parents out there. But in a world that’s not built for you, it can feel overwhelming.

I’m grateful every time I get to work with deep feeling clients.

Together we focus on:

• Understanding the unique nature of your sensitivity, because it’s never exactly the same. This insight helps you know what you need to make the most of your skillset instead of feeling burdened by it.

• Honestly, a lot of validating that, yes,it is okay that you feel that way. We help deal with that “I’m too much” worry that can make relationships with others so hard.

• Building capacity for the big feelings so you don’t feel run down or overwhelmed by them.

• Working through the pattern of overthinking.

If you want a place where your sensitivity doesn’t need to be toned down or over-explained, let’s talk about how therapy can help.

You’ve always performed well under pressure. You had to fight to get to where you are. But somewhere along the way, something shifted.

Your capacity feels strained. Things that you used to be able to do in your sleep now feel exhausting.

After years practicing therapy in the medical center, I’ve gotten a close look at what my clients who are doctors, nurses, and researchers go through. Sexism in the field, uncertainty from high up, and ever growing demand can leave you feeling worn down.

I’ve helped high performers like you work through these stuck feelings. It is some of the most rewarding work I get to do.

Together we focus on:

• Building realistic expectations so you continue to advance without burning out.

• Listening to what your body is telling you and learning to honor that message, without letting it take over.

• Leveraging neuroscience to help your body and mind cope with the stress.

• Communicating across generations that don’t always seem to speak the same language.

I have so much empathy and respect for the work you do. If you’re noticing the strain but aren’t sure what needs to change, let’s talk about how therapy can help.

You’re holding it all together for everyone else, while your needs always take a back seat. It’s hard to ask for support, and even when you do, it seems to fall through.

While you’re making sure everyone else’s lives run smoothly, inside it feels like you’re falling apart. You love your kids, you love so much about being a mom, but something has to give.

If this is you, I know therapy can feel like one more thing on your lengthy to-do list. When I work with moms like you, I make sure the sessions are as high impact as possible.

Together we work on:

• The guilt of not being able to do it all. Maybe intellectually you know you have nothing to feel guilty about, but on a feelings level the guilt is hard to shake.

• Setting boundaries — hear me out!! I know there’re a million resources on boundaries and assertiveness out there. But so often they present confusing information, advocate trying to change the other person (which is outside your control), and offer a one-size-fits all approach. Together, you and I will tailor to your actual situation and real-life limitations.

• Growing the capacity to experience true self-compassion. This is where we move beyond your thoughts and help you actually feel better.

You likely relate to at least one if not all of the above struggles. But when you’ve experienced trauma, it often feels heavier, more stuck, and more complicated.

You’re either revved up or shut down. It’s hard to life, and it takes everything out of you. People who don’t know your story have no idea about your struggle, but inside you know living this way isn’t sustainable.

Listen: you deserve therapy with a trained trauma professional to help navigate this phase of recovery. You’ve done the hard part: you survived! You built a life!

Now it’s time to move beyond survival mode. I’ve helped clients work through traumatic experiences ranging from sexual trauma, to pregnancy loss, to moral injury and more. It’s an honor any time a client comes ready to work on their trauma, willing to share their story with me (on their own timeline!).

Together we work on:

• Understanding the impact of trauma on your neurology, mood, and behavior

• Working with your nervous system instead of against it. We’re not here to white-knuckle our way through.

• Navigating the grief that so often accompanies having your agency taken away or not having your needs me

• Changing the story. Trauma often leaves you with a new default setting of feeling heightened negative emotions. Together we work through the revved and shut down states so you can remember what peace feels like.

The trauma therapies I offer are listed lower on this page. I’ve seen clients overcome such deep levels of feeling stuck in their trauma. If you’re ready to take that step, reach out for a consultation.
