Psyche-Therapy for Sensitive Adults

Working with childhood trauma, anxiety, attachment, and boundaries

You grew up quickly, learning to anticipate others’ needs while setting your own aside. Now, you may find yourself deeply attuned to the world yet struggling to offer yourself the same understanding. The habits that once kept you safe, such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, or staying hyper-independent, may now leave you feeling anxious, overextended, and quietly burned out. You might feel torn between generosity and resentment, craving connection while fearing that boundaries will push others away.

Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen to what lies beneath the overwhelm. Perhaps someone important in your life, a parent, caregiver, or other influential figure, was dismissive of your needs or offered love conditionally, leaving you unsure of your worth. These early imprints can shape how you move through the world, making guilt, self-doubt, and emotional depletion feel like the cost of being “good.”

But pushing through isn’t the answer. Together, we’ll bring awareness to the patterns that keep you striving and constricted, gently tending to the parts of you that had to adapt too soon. This work blends reflection, body awareness, and imagination, meeting the psyche as both a guide and a storyteller. Therapy becomes a creative process: a way of exploring your inner world, opening new perspectives, and reclaiming your energy for a more grounded, authentic life.

Over time, you may begin to see that self-compassion and boundaries don’t create distance. They make genuine connection possible.

Finding the right therapist is important, and the best way to know if we’re a good fit is to connect. I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.

Areas of Focus

  • Young man in moody, contemplative lighting against a tiled background, symbolizing the quiet intensity of anxiety and the inner work of confronting fear, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm through therapy.

    Anxiety & Hypervigilance

    Anxiety often signals the parts of you that long for safety and understanding. Rather than trying to eliminate worry, we listen to what it’s asking for. In therapy, this work supports a shift from constant scanning and self-doubt toward greater trust, groundedness, and a steadier connection to yourself.

  • Close-up of a perfectly centered bubble in a spirit level, symbolizing the constant striving for precision and balance often driven by perfectionism—and the potential for release and self-compassion through therapy.

    Perfectionism & Self-Worth

    Perfectionism often begins as protection, a way to earn love or stay safe. By exploring its roots, you can soften the pressure to be flawless and reconnect with your worth as something inherent, not earned.

  • Two ghostlike figures facing the ocean on a foggy shoreline, symbolizing emotional distance, disconnection, and the inner work of healing relationship patterns through therapy.

    Attachment & Relationship Patterns

    Our earliest relationships shape how we love, protect ourselves, and reach for others. In therapy, we explore these patterns with care, creating space for vulnerability, trust, and the felt sense of connection becoming safer again.
