Dr. Aron recommends depth psychotherapy as a good fit for the depth of processing experienced by HSPs. I practice Jungian Analysis, a type of depth psychotherapy that encourages looking inwards to find meaning, clarity and a sense of wholeness. Over the years I have worked successfully with many HSPs in my practice. As a HSP myself I can understand the gifts and difficulties that come with this trait. I offer a free 30-minute consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit. I would be honored to assist you on your path to freedom and deeper meaning.

As a Highly Sensitive Person, I understand how it feels to need to deeply process, to have a strong desire to have purpose and meaning in the world, to cultivate a connection to spirituality, and how important it is to foster these traits. I love helping HSPs navigate how they want to bring their unique gifts to the world.

I feel passionate about helping HSPs with: identity, purpose, relationship, career, and mental health (Stress, Anxiety, Depression). I am a transpersonal counsellor which means I practice psychology through your spiritual lens.
