I help HSPs who are ready to understand themselves at a deeper level and create lasting change. Together we may look at: the roots of anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing; repeating relationship patterns; emotional overwhelm and nervous system sensitivity; internalized critical voices and other parts of you that adapted to survive a world that often misunderstands sensitivity. The world needs HSPs and I want us all to thrive!

My approach is highly personalized and holistic, attending to the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Therapy with me is collaborative, reflective, and deeply attuned. As someone who also identifies as an HSP, I understand firsthand the depth, intensity, and nuance this trait brings. My lived experience informs my clinical work while remaining grounded in professional training and thoughtful boundaries.

I offer a free 15 min phone consultation. Please visit my website for more information.

I love working with HSPs and emotionally intense adults who may struggle with chronic depression, existential angst or decision dread, personality concerns, Borderline Personality Disorder, and conflicts about relationships. My work as a therapist is highly interpersonal, emotion-focused, and depth-oriented, based on Mentalization-Based Therapy. MBT is a research supported attachment-based psychotherapy that helps people develop a deep, nuanced, flexible, and empathic understanding of ourselves and others. When big feelings and difficult social challenges leave us feeling all stirred up and in a tangle, healthy mentalizing promotes regulation of big emotions, resilience through tough times, and helps cultivate the experience of security and confidence within ourselves and in important relationships.

I work with adults who identify as Highly Sensitive on personal growth and self-esteem. Sometimes this involves working through blocks, challenges and emotional pain from the past to grow. I am also highly sensitive and can offer some compassionate guidance as you navigate a non-sensitive world. On Instagram as disaflann.

I specialize in helping sensitive and ambitious adult women heal from trauma, burnout, & anxiety to create more connection, inner peace, & life balance. I empower my clients to re-calibrate and realign thoughts, feelings, actions, and the nervous system with their values and needs to bring more pleasure, joy, and alignment to their life. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all so I work collaboratively with you to create the safe space you need to achieve your specific goals. Turning pain into power because you deserve better than the exhausting hustle/grind status quo pressure to prove your worth. You don’t need to try harder, you need to feel safer and be supported.

I especially enjoy working with highly sensitive adults, particularly HSP introverts and HSP therapists. I offer in-person, depth-oriented psychotherapy at my Chamblee office, as well as virtual therapy throughout Georgia.

As an HSP myself, I bring both personal understanding of high sensitivity and many years of experience working with highly sensitive clients. My approach is psychodynamic and relational. I listen closely for patterns and themes and help you look at familiar struggles from a different angle.

We might explore what’s underneath anxiety, why certain patterns keep repeating, or how sensitivity affects your relationships and emotional life. We’ll also talk about what might help and what you can begin to do differently.

If you’re interested in working together, you can email me or schedule a consultation through my website.

Additionally, I work with many professionals hoping to pursue balance in their chaotic lives. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
