About My Clients
What if I told you that your overthinking, self-criticism, people-pleasing, and emotional overwhelm all share the same root? Rejection sensitivity, a dread of disapproval, often drives these patterns. I specialize in helping highly sensitive and neurodivergent folks shift these responses, so you can achieve peace in your mind and in your relationships.
My Background and Approach
If you find yourself replaying conversations, worrying about how you were perceived, avoiding conflict to keep the peace, or lashing out at those you care about most when emotions become too intense, you’re in the right place. Imagine confidently setting boundaries and asking for what you need, without apologizing or over-explaining. You recognize rejection when it shows up and respond with intention. Your relationships feel lighter, free of resentment, and you trust others to manage their own emotions. Most importantly, you’ve freed up mental space for what actually matters. With approaches that integrate acceptance and change, like DBT, Internal Family Systems, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, you’ll find the most easeful and effective path forward. With intensives, you can get resolution that lasts in a fraction of the time it would take with weekly sessions
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
People are doing the best they can and may want to or need to do better. People have good intentions and impact matters. All emotions are valid and not all emotion urges are effective. All behaviors serve a purpose and they may not serve us in the long-term. Acceptance is the antidote to suffering and acceptance can be practiced while actively pursuing change. Practicing new ways of responding is uncomfortable and it becomes your new normal with consistent, imperfect repetition. No matter how a problem happened or who caused it to happen, you are responsible for a skillful response. My approach is informed by a systems and social justice perspective; I have an awareness that not all problems arise within an individual, but also arise from the wider social, cultural, political, and economic contexts.
