Resilience for “sensitive” people in insensitive times. Talk therapy + somatic therapy + energy healing to address anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, and spirituality.
Did you know that “sensitivity” is a genetic trait affecting 1 in 5 people? You may be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) if…
- You are a deep thinker or feeler – someone who pauses to reflect before speaking, acting, or making decisions in order to make the best choice. On a good day, others say you’re: receptive, perceptive, intuitive, sympathetic, compassionate, empathetic, thoughtful, understanding, insightful, responsive, discerning, careful, tactful, subtle, and diplomatic.
- You feel stressed, anxious, or afraid of failure, especially during major life transitions or moments when you must perform under pressure.
- You avoid environments and activities that are overstimulating and tiresome for you.
- You have big feelings (both positive and negative) that can be difficult to regulate. On a bad day, others say you’re: temperamental, touchy, uptight, defensive, emotional, neurotic, and fragile.
- You are sensitive to subtleties – light, noise, smells, flavors, textures, hormones, allergies, pain, drugs, art, healing, nature, or extrasensory perceptions.
- You know you are different – perhaps unable to sustain a “normal” lifestyle without burning out– and you sometimes fear something is wrong with you.
- You have been this way your whole life – in school, at work, and in your important relationships.
As a Highly Sensitive Therapist, I know firsthand how challenging our trait can be. While we serve an essential function for our species, the modern world wasn’t built for the Highly Sensitive minority. In unsupportive environments we suffer more than others; however, in supportive environments, like therapy, we also excel more than others. The trick is learning to care for our sensitive nervous systems and big hearts like one might care for a thoroughbred racehorse. If we want to win the Triple Crown, we have to train!
Good training starts with a Highly Sensitive approach to mental health — a holistic blend of talk therapy, somatic therapy, and energy healing.Talk therapy for your Highly Sensitive brain and its capacity to process thoughts and feelings deeply. Somatic therapy for neuroscience-approved, trauma-informed care that supports your sensitive nervous system through the mind-body connection. Energy healing for your intuitive and innate capacity to sense subtleties.
I offer a loving, supportive, and openly curious refuge; helping you feel seen, known, and safe to explore your innermost experience. There is reason for hope. Come reclaim your innate strength and value!

*SLIDING SCALE UPDATE: I deeply value providing affordable therapy; however, due to my student loan debt, I cannot financially sustain working with Open Path clients long-term. I can honor the $70/hour rate for 12 sessions. If you’d like to continue working together beyond 12 sessions, you can apply for my standard sliding scale of $85-$140/hour.
