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 yourself again. You’re pretty darn good at solving problems, but these emotions have you inexplicably stuck. You know you need to:
Sort through the messy feelings you don’t know what to do with.
Shed the self-judgment and shame.
Deeply understand yourself.
So you can both soften and expand, and feel a true sense of clarity - not overwhelmed by a storm of emotions.
Let’s get you there.
You’re no stranger to intensity.
Your emotions, interests, values - and even avoidance - can feel overwhelming at times, for you and those you love.
You’ve been told you’re quite capable, but that doesn’t sit comfortably with you. You feel incongruence between what you experience inside and who people understand you to be. They see your output, but only you know the emotional and cognitive epic you go through on a daily basis. And now, you’ve gotten stuck - on a problem you can’t think your way through. But reaching out is daunting, because there’s a high risk of being misunderstood, mislabeled, or misdiagnosed. You probably feel pretty alone.
You’re exhausted from holding it all together.
You’re paralyzed and overwhelmed by your swirling thoughts.
You worry you’re “too much” because you have intense emotions.
You feel isolated and disappointed when searching for someone who truly gets it.
I know it can feel like something must be fundamentally wrong with you. But I can confidently say: no, you’re not broken.
So, where do we start?
Therapy shouldn’t be yet another space where you have to work overtime 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 complexities, sensitivities, emotions, and passions, so you can anchor your ship again.
In therapy, we:
Build our understanding of how your brain works;
Take a close-up look at your relationship with your own emotions;
Dissect the painful and dismissive messages you’ve received (perhaps mainly from yourself), like you’re “overly sensitive,” “too intense,” “awkward and weird,” or a “fraud;”
and help you cut through the noise to hear yourself think again. Remember, you’re out of sync - not fundamentally broken!
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 understanding and 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.
