does this feel familiar?
You walk into a room and instantly scan the emotional temperature, who’s tense, who’s withdrawn, who might be upset, before you even notice how you feel.
Someone says “I’m fine,” and you can tell they’re not… and now your nervous system feels responsible for fixing it.
You replay a subtle shift in someone’s tone for hours, wondering if you said something wrong or missed something important.
You absorb other people’s stress so fully that by the end of the day you’re exhausted, even if nothing “big” happened.
You struggle to set boundaries because you can physically feel another person’s disappointment, and it lingers in your body.
You often know what others need before they ask, but feel disconnected from your own needs because you’ve been scanning outward for so long.
Being highly attuned is a sign of resilience, not a character flaw
What it feels like to be highly attuned…
You notice the subtle shift in someone’s tone and instantly feel the weight of their mood in your body.
You absorb tension in a room and carry it with you long after leaving.
You anticipate others’ needs before they ask, often at the expense of your own.
You replay interactions endlessly, analyzing every word, expression, or reaction.
You feel overstimulated in crowded or noisy environments, even when everyone else seems fine.
You struggle to set boundaries because you can physically sense the disappointment or discomfort it may cause.
Healing for Highly Attuned Women feels like…
Feeling someone else’s emotion without absorbing it into your own body.
• Pausing before saying “yes” and actually checking what you need.
• Letting disappointment exist in the room without rushing to fix it.
• Trusting your perception without spiraling into self-doubt.

You look calm and capable on the outside but internally your mind rarely stops scanning, planning, or second-guessing. Anxiety therapy for high-functioning women whose nervous systems are stuck in overdrive, even when life appears “fine.” Together we work beneath the surface of symptoms to help your body learn safety, not just your mind understand it.

Highly Attuned Women
You feel everything deeply, your own emotions and everyone else’s. As a highly sensitive or empathic woman, you may absorb stress, overextend yourself, or struggle with boundaries while appearing strong and self-aware. Our work focuses on helping your nervous system differentiate what’s yours, build emotional boundaries, and transform sensitivity into strength rather than overwhelm.

Motherhood & Postpartum
Becoming a mother is profound, beautiful and often disorienting. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, identity shifts, intrusive thoughts, or the invisible pressure to “handle it all,” therapy offers a grounded space to recalibrate. I support mothers in processing the intensity of this transition so they can feel more stable, connected, and emotionally resourced.

EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy helps your nervous system process experiences that continue to drive anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt. Instead of only talking about patterns, we work directly with the emotional memories and body-based responses that keep them in place. This approach creates deeper, more lasting shifts, especially for high-achieving women who feel stuck despite insight.

EMDR Intensives
EMDR intensives offer a focused, accelerated approach to healing. Rather than spreading the work across months of weekly sessions, we dedicate extended time to process specific themes or core wounds in a structured, supportive format. Intensives are ideal for women who are motivated, ready for depth, and seeking meaningful change in a shorter timeframe.
You are worthy of care too

You don’t have to resonate with every example to belong here. Many highly attuned women relate to certain patterns, like overthinking, emotional responsibility, or difficulty resting, but not all of them. This isn’t a diagnosis or a box; it’s a lens. If parts of this feel familiar, that’s enough to explore.

Sometimes, but not always. For some women, heightened attunement developed early as a way to stay connected, safe, or prepared in unpredictable environments. For others, it’s a natural temperament, a sensitive, perceptive nervous system that simply takes in more information.
In therapy, we gently explore where your patterns come from, not to label you, but to understand what your nervous system learned and whether those strategies are still serving you.

I help highly attuned women learn how to stay empathetic without absorbing, set boundaries without spiraling into guilt, and calm a nervous system that feels constantly “on.”
Using a combination of insight-oriented therapy and EMDR, we work at the root level, not just managing overthinking or people-pleasing, but shifting the emotional imprints that keep those patterns in place. The goal isn’t to make you less sensitive. It’s to help your sensitivity feel like strength instead of exhaustion.
