Virtual Counseling for Highly Sensitive People, Empaths & Helping Professionals in Maryland & Washington DC

Guiding you to heal your relationship to anxiety + stress + perfectionism so you can stop living small + embrace who you were meant to be.

You are sick of feeling anxious, overwhelmed and guilty.

Your neck and shoulders hurt, your jaw is tight and stomach is always fluttering.

You’re agitated but feel like you shouldn’t be.

You’ve decided you’re just too sensitive and need to grow thicker skin.

So you shove all your feelings down to keep moving.  Then it happens again

You’re body is run down with another cold, stomach ache or other mysterious physical symptom. 

A part of you knows this may be stress so you try EVERYTHING

Yoga, meditation, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, self-help books, the list goes on…

Maybe you’ve been to therapy but feel like something is missing because you keep running into the same roadblocks.

You are frustrated and afraid but something inside telling you to try again.

You are ready for change but you’re still a little skeptical

I hear you. I feel you and I get you.

Sure all the therapists say that, right?

No really – I do.

 Because I am you.

I know from experience how difficult it can be to find attuned support as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and helper. But I also know how transformative it is to receive the right kind of therapy.
