About HSP

Did you know that it is no accident that some people feel and take on others moods? That it is no coincidence that some individuals can walk into a room and notice the most subtle of differences? Did you know that kids and adults are not exaggerating when the fabric of their clothes or the smell of food is too much for them? Furthermore, did you know that what may seem benign and uneventful to some may feel extremely critical and threatening to others? It is all true, and more, for those with the personality trait known as Highly Sensitive Personality, or HSP.

My Work

I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in grief and loss; with an additional specialty in Highly Sensitive Personality. Through my own personal experience, as well as raising highly sensitive kids, I bring an experiential skillset in work around HSP.

I work with clients in identifying this innate set of characteristics that makes HSP’s the intuitive compassionate people that they are, while also educating HSP’s in managing their sensitivity in a world of harshness and scrutiny. In particular, I educate parents about their HSC (Highly Sensitive Children) so that they can adapt in a world where others may not nurture their sensitivity.
