Therapy for out-of-sync Empaths
For deep feelers who are stuck between overwhelm and a craving for more.
Find solid ground.
You want desperately to feel anchored in this tumultuous world. To finally be able to:
Sort through the messy emotions you don’t know what to do with.
Shed the self-judgment and shame.
Deeply understand yourself.
Where you can both soften and expand, and feel at home in your own skin - not overwhelmed by tangled up emotions.
Let’s get you there.
“…Am I broken?”
As an empathic, highly sensitive, or gifted person, you’re no stranger to intensity. Your emotions, interests, values - and even avoidance - can feel overwhelming at times, for you and those you love.
And then as you pick up on the incongruence between who you are and who society expects you to be, emotions like shame and anger get piled on, too. You may bump elbows with the systems and relationships you encounter daily. If so, I’m betting you’re tired of being misunderstood, mislabeled, and misdiagnosed, and you probably feel pretty alone.
You’re overwhelmed by your heightened perception.
You worry, “Am I too much?” because you have intense emotions.
You get paralyzed by your complex thoughts and many interests.
You feel isolated and disappointed when looking for depth in relationships.
I know it can feel like something is wrong with you. But to answer your question, no, I promise you’re not broken.
So, where do we start?
Therapy shouldn’t be yet another space where you have to fight to be seen, heard, and accurately understood.
You’ve been doing that for far too long.
Welcome to a space that’s actually designed for you!
Your needs and lived experience are front and center in therapy - not others’ expectations or inaccurate depictions of you. I help you learn how to work with your sensitivities, emotions, passions, and complexities, so you can recognize and land on solid ground.
We look at the confusing and inaccurate messages you’ve received, like you’re:
“overly sensitive,” “too intense,” “awkward and weird,” or “just too much…”
and help you get in touch with the core parts of you that have been bruised and buried underneath those hurtful messages.
Hi! I’m Wren, a fellow HSP and deep-feeler.
In one of my first grad school classes, we were asked to share why we wanted to be therapists. I found myself in a sea of helpers whose altruistic motives I put on a pedestal.
Sure, I enjoy helping people, but my own inner drive was, yet again, different. At the time, self-talk like “selfish,” “shallow,” “weird” went through my mind. My instinct was to hide.
As I’ve done my own healing work though, I’ve come to recognize the immense value in leaning in to the things that make me different.
If this kind of story sounds familiar, I may be someone who can help!
Your uniqueness is a huge strength, not a liability, and certainly not a pathology.
So, why AM I a therapist?
In case you were still wondering, I do this work because it’s the intersection of “this is who I am” and “this is what I’m good at.”
I think the complexity and depth of humans is SO cool.
My natural curiosity, drive for puzzle-solving, and emotional intuition are at home in this work.
And facilitating deep, emotional healing is meaningful to me.
Welcome! I’m excited to meet you.
