Does your brain seem to oscillate between overstimulated and understimulated? Are you sick of being overlooked by medical providers because you don’t look like their outdated image of someone with ADHD, autism, or bipolar disorder? Are you tired of getting brushed off because you’re not struggling "enough” or because they gave you medication (or didn’t) and kicked you out the door? But you’re still struggling with tasks like hygiene, grocery shopping, navigating the airport, or feeling lonely?

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.

Times of transition or loss can call up unresolved feelings from the past. Together we can move through and process your emotions so that you don't feel so alone in what you're experiencing. If you identify as a Highly Sensitive Person, I am here to help you learn new tools to navigate the overstimulating world we live in. A lot of people deal with their emotions by shoving them down and avoiding them- this doesn't work so well for HSPs. Together we can dive deep to understand why you're feeling what you're feeling and process through it. I am offering walk and talk/ hiking sessions near Portland if that is of interest to you.
