A gentle path for sensitive souls
Therapy that works with your nervous system, not against it
Many people arrive in therapy carrying the deep loneliness of not feeling understood. Perhaps parts of you learned early on that your sensitivity was “too much,” that you should toughen up, move on, or do things differently than what felt right in your body and heart. Over time, these experiences can create inner conflicts — parts that work hard to cope, parts that try to protect you by staying quiet or pushing through, and tender parts that still long to be met with softness and care. When your inner knowing has been questioned again and again, it can be hard to trust yourself or feel safe being who you truly are.
I work with people who are gentle, kind, and deeply feeling — those with nervous systems that take in the world fully and sincerely. Many carry anxiety, grief, or a sense of exhaustion from having adapted for too long. In our work together, we move slowly and with reverence for your inner world. Using a parts-based, nervous-system-informed approach, we listen to what each part of you is asking for, rather than trying to override or fix it. Your sensitivity is not something to outgrow; it is a doorway to wisdom, connection, and healing. Here, all parts of you are welcome, and healing unfolds in its own time — guided by compassion, curiosity, and the quiet strength already within you.
