Internal family systems therapy

A gentle space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with yourself. 

Internal Family Systems Therapy for Highly Sensitive People, Empaths, and Deep Feelers. 

You might be here because...

Flowers blowing in the wind at Bandon Be

You feel things deeply, and sometimes it’s hard to know what’s yours and what you’re picking up from others.

 

You're wondering, “Why am I the way I am?” and you're trying to make sense of the intensity, the depth, and the way your mind and heart seem to take in so much.

 

Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” or “too much,” and part of you has tried to shrink, or learn how not to care so deeply… even though that’s never felt quite right.

 

Social situations feel complicated— wanting to connect, while also feeling overwhelmed, self-conscious, or unsure where you fit. Sometimes leaving you replaying moments long after they’ve passed.

 

And underneath it all, there may be a quiet, familiar feeling of being misunderstood— like others don’t quite see you, or don’t fully get the depth of your experience.

 

At the same time, there’s something steady within you that longs for more— for ease, for meaningful connection, for a way of being that feels calmer and more like yourself.

My approach is rooted in...

Attuned Awareness

We move at the speed of safety and trust. We listen closely to your body, your gut responses, and what feels supportive in each moment, so there is no pressure to go faster than what feels right for you and your system.

Befriending Beliefs

We gently turn toward the beliefs that shape your experience and get to know them better. There’s a deep respect here that every part is trying to help in some way, and we work with that wisdom rather than against it.

Compassionate Curiosity

Everything that arises is met with openness and care, bringing a steady, gentle curiosity to whatever shows up. There is a sense of warmth here, allowing space for everything to be met, held, and understood.

Hi, I'm Erica

As a Highly Sensitive Person, I know what it can feel like to move through the world without feeling fully understood—to question yourself or wonder if something is wrong.

I bring that lived experience into my work as I support other sensitive individuals in navigating life’s challenges, deepening their self-understanding, and gently reconnecting with who they truly are—using an Internal Family Systems approach.
