Highly Sensitive People

Highly sensitive people are deeply impacted by the feelings of others and their environments.

You or your child may avoid certain social situations such as stimulating settings and struggle with individual boundaries within relationships.

Some are born sensitive, and some become more sensitive over time. Highly sensitive people are often gifted with strong intuitive abilities and hold a deep empathy toward others’ emotional experiences and current global issues; however, intense feelings can often feel overwhelming.

I can teach you tools to help with boundary development and stability. You can learn how to differentiate your feelings from the feelings of others to feel more confident to be you.

Spiritual Awakening

There are moments in life when individuals wake up and feel and think differently than they ever have before.

This new way of perceiving and experiencing life can be caused by loss, trauma, aging, or a new spiritual practice. While this new awareness can feel exciting and even exhilarating, it can also bring with it fear, grief, confusion, and loneliness.

I can support you or you and your partner to understand and integrate your awakening process to have a clearer sense of how to embody your wholeness.

Energy Healing

In modern culture, it can be easy to lose track of the most important human ability: our inner knowing.

I support empaths and highly sensitive people that get stuck in their thoughts, worries, and feel disconnected from their bodies, hearts, and spirits. I can help you remember how to tune into your body’s wisdom and intuition. I support this through integrating energy healing into our depth-psychotherapy sessions together. As a licensed energy healer as well as a depth psychotherapist, I support you with connecting to your energetic body in order to understand some of the root causes of dis-ease you are experiencing.
We also explore all the parts of who you are including what supports as well as interferes with your inner guidance. When you know how to operate from your intuition you can be in alignment with passion, creativity, and purpose.

Nature Based Therapy and Climate Grief

City living and our environment impact our mental state more than we realize, especially sensitive people. Sensitive people often experience anxiety and grief more directly than others as it relates to our climate changing. With over 20 years of working with others in outdoor settings, I offer guidance to empaths deepening their connection with the Earth. Nature based guiding can include ritual, ceremony, rites of passage, outdoor grounding meditations, and tools for slowing and calming down your nervous system in nature. I support folks in reconnecting with the animate world in order to feel more aliveness, creativity, as well as hope for our Planet Earth.

Trauma and Anxiety

Trauma includes past disruptive life memories that live in the body and spirit if not communicated and worked through in a caring relationship.

Anxiety is a buzzing and uncomfortable experience that is insistent if deeper feelings, sometimes rooted to trauma, are not expressed. Anxiety can also be connected to thoughts and stories about yourself that you may believe to be your own but are the beliefs inherited by your family and culture.

I can help you unravel the complexities of your feelings so that difficult feelings have space to soften. You can learn how to mindfully track your present moment experience so that you know when to implement learned coping skills before getting stuck and overwhelmed.
