Support for Highly Sensitive People, Trauma, Depression, & Those in Helping Roles

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.

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. You may be here because something doesn’t feel right. Life might seem fine from the outside, you’re thoughtful, insightful, and dependable. Others may even lean on you for support. Yet, beneath the surface, you may feel overwhelmed with intense emotions or, at times, completely disconnected. Something inside of you wants to know if change is possible.

If you had a magic wand, these might be some of the things you’d change:

Emotional Overwhelm and Disconnection: Experiencing intense emotions or periods of numbness.

Self-Doubt and an Overactive Inner Critic: No matter what you've accomplished, something always feels “off” or “not good enough.”

Feeling Stuck and Overthinking: You’re thoughtful, yet feel trapped, stuck, or unsure about your next steps.

Feeling Unseen or Misunderstood: You long for deeper connection, yet often feel unseen, misunderstood, or overlooked, even by those closest to you.

If you resonate with any of this, your experience makes sense, there’s nothing wrong with you. Past experiences, trauma, or depression may shape how you relate to yourself and others, but they don’t define who you truly are. For highly sensitive people, your innate depth of feeling might amplify these struggles, leaving you even more overwhelmed or disconnected.

It’s completely understandable to long for deeper connection, emotional safety, and clarity, even if you aren’t exactly sure what needs to change yet. In our work together, we create a compassionate, supportive space where your sensitivity is honored and your strengths are affirmed. Together, we gently explore and shift the patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you, helping you cultivate deeper self-trust and feel more aligned with who you truly are.

If you're ready to explore what's next, I'd love to connect.

Hi, I’m Sara (she/hers). 

I'm a highly sensitive person and a relational counselor using a Gestalt approach, an experiential therapy focused on deepening self-awareness. In Gestalt therapy, meaningful change unfolds naturally as we gently explore and understand your present experiences and patterns. My work is grounded in presence, collaboration, and empathy. I support sensitive, insightful adults like you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and feeling more aligned with who you truly are.

If you’re used to being the one others lean on, this is your space to finally feel fully seen and supported.
