You Feel Things Deeply, and You’re tired of Feeling Overwhelmed

You may be a highly sensitive person who feels everything deeply.

You may have been told you’re “intense,” “too much,” “over-emotional,” or “being dramatic.”

You wonder why your mind never stops spinning, why you replay the same situation over and over in your head, or why your brain always feels like it has a hundred tabs open at once.

You constantly ask yourself, “Did I say the wrong thing? Am I doing this right?”

You want things to make sense, and it’s hard to move on when you still have questions.

You try to relax, but it’s hard to feel at ease when you’re so tense or distracted by everything going on around you.

You feel frustrated when you can spend hours on something that interests you, but struggle to get through everyday tasks.

You’ve spent so much time trying to meet other people’s expectations that you aren’t sure what you want or need anymore.

You may be wondering if you’re neurodivergent, or trying to understand what a diagnosis of autism or ADHD means for you as an adult.

You feel like you’re constantly pushing through, and you don’t remember the last time you felt rested.

You haven’t been able to be present and enjoy the things you care about like you want to.

You want to be in touch with who you are again.

You want to feel joy and connection in your relationships.

You want to be able to relax in your own home.

You want to feel confident in the decisions you make.

You want to feel understood without having to explain yourself over and over again.

You need space to understand your own needs and learn how to take care of yourself. I will help you make sense of what you’re experiencing, work through what’s leaving you overwhelmed, and find ways to make daily life feel more manageable.

Although I worked with families before becoming a parent, having children made me especially interested in working with caregivers. Throughout the time I worked with children in community mental health, I found that children made more progress socially and emotionally when their parents were open to growth. I was able to make the biggest impact when parents were willing to work towards change within themselves. I now work with parents directly to try to prevent generational trauma from the top down.
