Therapy for Highly Sensitive Women

You've been told that you are "too sensitive," "too emotional," or that you "think too much." You'll avoid or prolong doing things or going places that cause you to feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable, such as shopping during peak busy times, crowded social events, or new experiences. You've been known to care deeply for others and can form deep bonds with friends, family, or even strangers. When there is external chaos such as a world crisis, collective trauma, or turmoil, you're not just aware of the situation, but you feel immense dread, hopelessness, helplessness, fear, or anger. 

 

You process information deeply and are more sensitive than those around you. This can cause you to feel more stressed, overstimulated, and overwhelmed. 

Being an HSP is a wonderful personality trait that can come with many challenges and concerns. I'd love to help you navigate these unique concerns and tap into the strengths of this trait, so you can manage your stress and overwhelm in a way that feels best for you.

How I Help: 

Anxiety, Worry & Stress Reduction

Are you an overwhelmed and anxious over-thinker with terrible stress keeping you up at night? 

 

Therapy that provides you with skills and tools to help manage your stress, challenge your tendency to jump to negative conclusions and bring calm into your life. 

Increase Communication, Boundaries & Self-Expression

Do you have wants and needs but find it hard to express these? Do you want to say "no" but feel like you're letting others down? 

Therapy that encourages you to explore your current wants and needs, how you advocate for yourself, and where and when you set boundaries. 

Improve Self-Esteem, Self-Acceptance & Confidence

Do you feel bad about yourself and dwell on your flaws? Are you worried about what others think and say about you? 

Therapy that empowers you to challenge your fears and insecurities, explore your strengths, qualities and uniqueness, and love and care for yourself the way you need and deserve. 

Establish Self-Care & Life Balance

Do you cringe when you hear the term "self-care?" Do you find yourself spending more time on Netflix than doing things that benefit your mental health? 

You want to take care of yourself, but you're stuck in old patterns of unhealthy coping. We get it.

 

Therapy that inspires you to listen to your inner needs and care for your entire being in a way that feels best for you. 

Explore Relationships & Social Connections

Are you struggling to connect with others in deep and meaningful ways? Are you in need of a support system, but feel like this doesn't currently exist? 

Relationships are incredibly important!

 

Therapy that motivates you to break through your relationship barriers to build healthy and lasting connections.
