Grounded, Compassionate Support for Deep Feelers, Helping Professionals, & Those Navigating Trauma

Understand your inner world so you can move from overwhelm, negative self-talk, or relationship difficulties to a life rooted in clarity and trusting yourself.

Hi, I’m Sara (she/hers).

I help highly sensitive adults reconnect with themselves, especially those who carry the emotional toll of past experiences or trauma, moving from overwhelm to a life rooted in clarity and self-trust. (While I work with highly sensitive people, you don’t have to identify that way to feel at home here.)

From a young age, I’ve been deeply curious about what makes people do the things they do. As a highly sensitive person, I feel things intensely, notice subtleties others often miss, and naturally identify patterns in behaviors and relationships. Before becoming a counselor, I supported professionals navigating complex challenges, helping them create emotionally safe spaces where people felt genuinely seen. These experiences deepened my awareness of the hidden pressures we often carry beneath our composed exteriors.

Today, I blend my natural sensitivity and professional experiences to offer grounded, holistic support for adults who outwardly appear calm yet inwardly crave more honesty, meaningful connections, and emotional balance.

I'm human and on this journey too. As much as I've tried to heal on my own, I continue to learn that it's in a safe, attuned connection with someone who sees you, gently and fully, that real healing happens.

My Approach

Healing begins with emotional safety. In our work together, you'll experience a warm, inclusive space where every part of you is welcome, especially those parts you've felt you needed to hide.

Together, we gently explore your inner world, uncovering beliefs, protective patterns, and emotions that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Through compassionate presence and mindful awareness, you'll naturally move toward clarity, self-compassion, and emotional balance.

Here, your sensitivity and past experiences become strengths, guiding you gently toward the meaningful changes you seek.

Do You Find Yourself Hiding the Following From Others?

Feel deeply affected by the world around you. Loud environments, fast-paced expectations, or others’ emotions can feel overwhelming. You need time to process, but you rarely find space for it.

Overwhelm or numbness. You might experience anxiety, shutdown, sadness, or emptiness. At times, you feel too much; other times, not enough.

A harsh inner critic. You replay conversations, question your worth, or feel "too sensitive" or "not enough."

Relationships feel confusing or exhausting. You may struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or feeling unseen.

Feeling misunderstood. You have deep awareness, but often feel as though no one fully sees you.
