As a therapist specializing in both young children and young adult women, I recognize the unique challenges each group faces. For children aged 7 to 11, struggles with self-esteem, sadness, friendships, and school can be overwhelming. They may retreat inward when distressed, making it hard for parents to connect. Moreover, the burden of worrying excessively about others’ opinions can drown out their voices. Parents, while supportive, often find themselves unsure of how best to help. In my practice, I specialize in Play Therapy and Child-Centered approaches, offering a safe environment for children to explore their emotions.

As a highly sensitive person who cares about others and the world, you experience more stress, pain, and overwhelm than most. You may be feeling burned out, having trouble setting boundaries with others, or judging yourself for not being able to let go of past hurts. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to start prioritizing your own needs. You’re ready to take up space as your authentic self. Most of all, you’re ready to feel more confident and capable, with the knowledge that your sensitivity might be one of your biggest strengths.
