As an HSP you might experience overwhelm, dissatisfaction, anxiety, and a sense of trying to understand how you fit in the world. As an HSP myself, I know how challenging life can be when stuck in that place, and I also know how freeing it is to get unstuck.

My work with HSP’s connects them to a deeper truth within themselves and to their own strength, courage, wisdom and resiliency. As your state of being becomes calm and more centered in your true self, you make natural and lasting changes that result in a better relationship with yourself and the world around you. I am a licensed therapist in AZ, CO and CT as well as a Certified Life Coach. I do much of my work with clients online. Reach out with any questions and to schedule a free consultation.

I often work with clients who are struggling with finding deeper meaning and purpose in life. Many are successful by society’s standards but feel a deep sense of loss or lack of fulfillment inside. I help individuals bring awareness to unknown underlying patterns that have long driven their decisions and behavior. By removing these obstacles and making the unconscious conscious clients can bring awareness to their own life force so they may move toward becoming the person they truly are meant to be and living a more fulfilling life.

I am passionate about working with HSPs. While focusing on women with trauma, depression, and anxiety it became obvious that many were highly sensitive (HS) people who felt traumatized as children. They were often belittled because adults accused them of being too sensitive, overexaggerating, or trying to cause problems. They may have been teased by other children for their sensitivity. For a HS child, this teasing and punishment affects them more deeply than others, and they become HS adults who live with shame and feelings of inadequacy.

Understanding your HS nature will change your life as an adult. As an HSP myself, I love nothing better than to help people learn to appreciate and care for who they are.

As a therapist in mid life, through much work on myself, I have recently discovered that I have been a Highly Sensitive Person my entire life! Looking back on my childhood and young adult experiences, thru the lens of a Highly Sensitive Person, I have realized that everything now makes sense! The sensitivities to loud noises, bright lights, and medications, the need for deep thinking and connecting, being empathic to other’s emotions, being deeply moved by music and spirituality are all attributes in which I identify. I appreciate the gifts HSP’s bring to life!

If you have recently discovered your HSP trait, I would be honored to walk along with you as we reveal your strengths and challenges in all areas of your life.

I have over 25 years experience as a licensed professional counselor. By taking the time to really understand my clients, I am able to customize the strategies that best enable you to reach your goals. I utilizes an intuitive holistic approach which addresses the mind, body, and spirit connection.

I work with adults addressing issues of anxiety, depression, grief, codependency, loneliness, life transitions, including divorce adjustment (before, during, and after), spirituality, and finding your soul’s purpose.

I accept most Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Program benefits.
