Do you struggle with watching the news? Are you feeling the weight of the world? Do you feel like an alien on this planet? Are you exhausted all of the time? Do you feel completely alone, even though you are surrounded by people? That even though you ask for support, it is falling on deaf ears? Have you been labeled "too sensitive"? Are you having difficulty understanding why other people seem to be able to get all the things done that overwhelm you? Did you once have it "all together" and now things seem to be slowly slipping between your fingers? Do you seem to feel others' pain and describe yourself as an empath?

If these sound like you, you may be a highly sensitive person (HSP).HSPs are a smaller percentage of the population, 1 in 5 people, and are neurodivergent. While being an HSP, does not cause anxiety or depression, it does leave us more prone to them. My specialty is helping highly sensitives embrace their sensitivity and begin using it as their super power!

As a Highly Sensitive Person and empath myself, I get what it is like to need a safe place to be "you". My specialty is helping you learn ways to say "NO" without the guilt, hang on to only those emotions you are responsible for, leave the mask behind and begin to enjoy life! Ready to start?
