Professional Counseling and EMDR Therapy for Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)

Counseling for Anxiety, Trauma & People-Pleasing in St. Louis, Missouri

If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP) navigating anxiety, trauma, or people-pleasing patterns, you're not alone—and you don’t have to do this by yourself anymore.

As a therapist in St. Louis Missouri, I specialize in supporting highly sensitive people, particularly women and feminine-presenting individuals, who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, heal from the past, and finally design a life that actually fits.

Therapy That Honors Your Sensitivity

Living as a highly sensitive person in a world that moves fast, demands more, and rarely pauses to listen can leave you feeling emotionally overwhelmed and deeply misunderstood. HSPs often absorb more—more emotion, more energy, more pressure to conform—and it can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and exhaustion.

Now add in the impact of trauma or a lifetime of people-pleasing, and it's easy to feel stuck in cycles that drain your energy and keep you from being your full self.

That’s where therapy can help.

In my virtual therapy practice, I provide counseling in St. Louis Missouri that is calming, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion. I use EMDR therapy and a client-centered approach to help HSPs move from surviving to thriving.

A Space Where You Don’t Have to Shrink Yourself

Therapy with me is not about fixing you—because you are not broken. It's about understanding how your sensitivity works, learning how to protect your energy, and giving yourself permission to show up as your full self.

As an therapist who works with highly sensitive people, I create a space where your feelings make sense, your nervous system is respected, and your inner voice is finally heard.

Clients often describe me as:

  • A calming, grounding presence

  • Someone who listens deeply and validates what they’re feeling

  • A steady guide who helps them make sense of things they hadn’t seen before

  • Committed to the healing process, no matter how long it takes

  • Resourceful and encouraging, offering practical tools that actually work

With a background in academic advising and teaching interpersonal communication, I bring a diverse skill set to our sessions. Whether you need help navigating relationships, managing anxiety, or unpacking the impact of trauma, I support highly sensitive people in building clarity, resilience, and self-trust.

How Therapy Can Help HSPs Feel More Like Themselves Again

As a therapist in St. Louis Missouri, I help HSPs reconnect with their calm, confidence, and clarity. Our work together centers around honoring your sensitivity, healing old wounds, and finding what truly works for you—not what works for everyone else.

Clients I work with often share that they:

  • Gain clarity in decision-making

  • Feel more confident setting boundaries

  • Start shifting patterns of people-pleasing

  • Communicate more clearly in their relationships

  • Develop more self-compassion and less internal pressure

  • Learn to regulate emotional overwhelm and sensory overload

  • Feel empowered to live a slower, more intentional life

Whether through EMDR therapy or talk therapy, we’ll work together to help you build a life that feels sustainable, aligned, and true to who you are.
