Get To Know Me
Is there any research-based work you’ve done that you found particularly exciting, and how has that informed your practice today?
Yes, as a highly sensitive introvert and a psychotherapist, I'm involved in advancing the research on sensory processing sensitivity and highly sensitive people (HSP). My research focuses on gathering "HSP Voices" --stories of HSP lives and experiences. We hope to learn real life stories of challenges and benefits of being highly sensitive, as well as the factors that contribute to an individual's sensitivity. Knowing more about the nuanced and diverse experience of HSPs can help others find connection, validation, and understanding. Learn more and participate at https://www.healthyhsp.com/research
What are some the unique issues faced by clients in your particular field of specialization, in terms of mental health education, care, and/or treatment?
There is no one way that a highly sensitive person behaves or feels. Depending on early childhood, relationships, feedback from loved ones and mentors, cultural influences, and other life experiences, how you experience your sensitivity may be different. Research tells us that while HSP are more greatly impacted by negative experiences in childhood, they are also more greatly impacted by positive experiences.
This is great news: it is not too late to learn the strength of your trait and the coping strategies and skills to support you in achieving your goals. Some therapists just don't get sensitivity, and either ignore it or treat it as an afterthought. Therapy has great potential to help sensitive introverts, and you deserve a therapist who gets it.
I am well-versed and trained in the trait of high sensitivity (sensory processing sensitivity) as a therapist and as a highly sensitive introvert myself. This expertise, along with advanced clinical training in areas such as anxiety, sex therapy, and religious trauma, allow me to help my HSP clients find their way to a thriving life.

Work HistoryI bring personal experience as a woman in tech, mother of two, and psychotherapist into my sessions to listen deeply and empower you towards the next steps in your journey.
The first 20 years of my career was in the fields of technology and computer science, project and program management, and lastly entrepreneurship. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from the University of Georgia and a MBA from New York University. I have worked for major consulting companies and also as a small business providing project management, development, and consultation services.
Personal events (relocation, marriage, kids) brought about a time of reflection and reassessment as coping mechanisms of perfection, people-pleasing, and achievement no longer served me.
Counseling and mindfulness based stress relief led me to discover the transformative power of psychotherapy for my life and relationships. After much reflection, I was drawn to make a major shift in my career and become a psychotherapist. In this role, I’m honored to be able to help my clients along their own journey of transformation and healing.
