Growing up, I felt like a weird kid. I often felt like I didn’t fit in, I felt like my feelings were too big, I felt like I was too quiet, I had extreme reactions to certain sensory input. And up until about five years ago, I had no idea why.
That’s when I discovered that I’m a highly sensitive person, also known as HSP. HSPs often feel as though they don't fit in with others, may have sensory issues with things such as bright lights or certain fabrics, and can be very caring and empathetic-- sometimes at their own expense.
I started googling and researching everything I could find about HSP, joined Facebook groups for support, and shared the information with my family. I finally felt validated, and I no longer felt alone.
Throughout my experience as a therapist, as well as through my own personal growth, I’ve realized that HSPs are the people I’m most passionate about working with. I’m excited about my HSP coaching program and getting to work with people who are ready to set boundaries, establish a self-care and mindfulness practice (that actually works for them), prioritize their needs so that they can thrive in their day to-day, and more.
I live in New Hampshire with my husband and our two cats. I love theatre and dance (both performing and spectating), making crafts, and making music.
