Highly Sensitive People (HSP)
You’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” for as long as you can remember
You’re the one who feels everything:
the joy, the grief, the beauty, the ache.
Tears come easily because the truth is always just right under the surface.
Bright lights, noise, and crowds overwhelm your nervous system.
You’ve always sensed subtleties in your environment, like the proverbial Princess and the Pea.
You read the room and inbetween the lines with unnerving accuracy.
You’ve carried an existential curiosity your whole life with the kind of mind that asks, “Why are we here?” at 3am.
Small talk and superficial connections make you feel bored, lonely and different.
As a child you were called an “old soul” as if your spirit arrived here already weathered and knowing.
You became the emotional anchor of your family before you ever understood the weight of that role.
Even now, you’re the default counselor, the intuitive one, the friend everyone calls because you can hold complexity.
You sense energies — whether you call it intuition, empathy or psychic sensitivity.
Chaos disturbs your whole system. Your spirit is gentle, perceptive, porous.
You can thrive as a sensitive being
If you resonated with the challenges I have described, here’s the silver lining: You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) — a trait carried by 20% of the population, designed by nature to notice what others miss. Your intuition is sharper. Your empathy runs deeper. Your creativity has always been a portal.
You’ve felt it your whole life:
the pull towards animals and trees,
the way music cracks you open,
the longing to go below the surface of things,
the instinctive knowing that something is off before anyone feels it.
Your nervous system processes the world more deeply — which means that you experience more beauty, more meaning, and yes… more overwhelm. You read the emotional weather like an oracle. You’re perceptive, imaginative and moved by the sacred in everyday. Modern life can flood a system like yours. Therapy can help you learn that you’re not fragile, you’re finely tuned.
Together, we protect your system, honor your boundaries, and help you wield your sensitivity like the magic it is. You get to keep the depth and the intuition… without the overstimulation or self-abandonment. Your sensitivity is not a defect — it is the source of your power.
“If you feel like an old soul but also young at heart… you might be highly sensitive.” ~April Snow
Codependency Patterns in Relationships
You’re under the illusion that you’re “too sensitive,” so you gaslight yourself before anyone else gets the chance. You override your intuition to preserve relationships that aren’t in your best interest.
You’ve everyone’s therapist. People seek out your empathy but have trouble reciprocating, so you discount your own feelings. You end up carrying everyone else but no one is holding you.
You override your physical limits. You say yes when your body is begging for rest. When you finally leave early or cancel, a part of you feels like a wet blanket, even though your body is simply telling the truth.
You anticipate moods like a weather vane. You read the room before tuning into yourself. You end up pleasing and accommodating others to avoid their disappointment, which feels dangerous.
You give until depletion. Your compassionate nature bleeds into self-sacrificing and your generosity is taken advantage of. When the overwhelm hits, you retreat into isolation and wonder why connection feels like a threat.
You absorb emotional residue. Other people’s anxiety, anger, or sadness ends up living in your body. Your system feels worn out after socializing, and toxic relationships have even made you physically ill.
You feel responsible for everyone’s happiness. Choosing yourself feels like betraying others. You were taught that boundaries are abandonment. Yet you’re desperate to stop living inside other people’s stories.
You have forgotten your magic and it’s time to break the spell.
IFS Therapy helps you to remember your powers through accessing your inner resources - creativity, confidence, courage, compassion, calm & clarity - so you have the resilience to show up as a sensitive soul in your relationships.

Codependency
If you absorb other people’s emotions, you can learn to set boundaries to manage your space, time and energy. You can feel connected and compassionate without taking responsibility for others’ feelings. You can develop a connection to your intuition to assess your needs in relationships. We address codependent patterns such as self-sacrificing, people pleasing, and underlying feelings of guilt and fear, that create emotional enmeshment.
Spiritual Connection
Therapy can help you connect to a higher power of your own understanding. We address barriers such as spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity. IFS therapy helps you to access an embodied, grounded spirituality. You will learn how to discern the difference between the voice of fear and intuition. We can deepen your spiritual connection through astrology and reiki.
Anxiety
If your mind races and you breathe fast and shallow, you might be dealing with anxiety. You will learn grounding techniques like mindfulness, breathing and guided visualization to calm your body and mind. Anxiety is driven by scared inner child parts that need soothing or inner critic parts that are trying to help you succeed. Through directing compassion and curiosity to these parts, your anxious thoughts can transform from monsters into allies.
Creative Blocks
You can heal perfectionism blocking your inner talents. We can incorporate singing and songwriting to help you find your voice. Roleplay can aid you in self-expression and insight. You are welcome to bring in any creative modality that excites you. Your full, vibrant self is safe here to be silly, to learn, to play. There are no mistakes.
