I believe that therapy and coaching are only beneficial when we feel challenged and safe to explore, make mistakes, and show our true selves. I’m a licensed psychologist who’s gifted, a highly sensitive person (HSP), and a creative (with a fair amount of attention issues).
I created my Singularly Sensitive approach help to women (including therapists and coaches) who identify as gifted/talented, creatives, HSPs, and ADHDers find ways creative, holistic, mindful ways to thrive. I look forward to walking with you as you create a life of meaning, purpose, and contentment.
I am also the author of Wander and Delve: A Journal for Bright, Creative, Highly Sensitive People Forging Their Way (2023).

How do your clients describe you?
My clients say that they feel seen, accepted, and validated, which reduces shame and isolation. We co-create frameworks that help them clarify what they want/need and provide outlets for working on their issues between sessions. They appreciate my creative use of language, which helps them shift the language they use to think about themselves and others.
What are your creative outlets?
Writing, photography, painting, music, time in nature
What are your favorite books?
Paula Prober's Your Rainforest Mind, anything by Elaine Aron but especially The Highly Sensitive Person, Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, and Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way
