Hi! I’m an empath with a passion for helping people!

Welcome to a safe haven for young adults Gen-Z and Millennials, who identify as empaths or highly sensitive individuals and are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and challenging relationships. I understand the unique challenges you face, and my mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you navigate the complexities of your emotional world and find healing.

​Overwhelmed by Emotions: As an empath or highly sensitive person, you may often feel like your emotions are on overdrive. Every interaction, every news story, every negative emotion of those around you can feel like a tidal wave, leading to emotional exhaustion.

Isolation and Loneliness: The world can be an overwhelming and sometimes isolating place for empaths and highly sensitive individuals. This can result in a sense of loneliness and disconnection from others who may not understand your depth of emotional experience.

Trauma and PTSD: Many young adults in this category have experienced trauma or have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The emotional toll of unresolved trauma can lead to anxiety, depression, and difficulty in maintaining healthy relationships.
​​

Tumultuous Relationships: Your deep empathy and sensitivity can lead to tumultuous, intense relationships, often characterized by emotional rollercoasters and difficulty setting boundaries. This can be emotionally draining and sometimes even toxic.

Compassionate, Evidence-Based Treatment: I am committed to providing you with the support and healing you deserve. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and evidence-based techniques. I offer a safe space where you can:

Explore Your Emotions: Together, we will delve into your emotions, helping you gain a deeper understanding of your empathic abilities and emotional responses. I will teach you how to harness your sensitivity as a strength rather than a burden.

Heal from Trauma: If you’ve experienced trauma or are struggling with PTSD, I use evidence-based trauma therapies to help you process and heal, reducing the emotional impact of past events.

Manage Anxiety and Depression: We will work on developing coping strategies and emotional regulation techniques to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression that often accompany high sensitivity.

Navigating Relationships: Learn how to set healthy boundaries, communicate your needs effectively, and develop more stable and fulfilling relationships. I’ll provide guidance to help you maintain meaningful connections.

I am dedicated to walking this journey with you, at your own pace, providing the support you need to overcome your pain points and rediscover your emotional balance.
