Therapy for highly sensitive people in Virginia

Your sensitivity is lovely.

I know that sometimes it feels like your world is too much to handle - too loud, too bright, too busy, too demanding. You feel overwhelmed and overstimulated, and you just…

some

quiet.

You might wish that you were less sensitive. Maybe if you had thicker skin, or you could just let things go, or didn’t get so flustered, then it would be easier.

But that’s not who you are, and your sensitivity isn’t a weakness. I can help you build a more harmonious life, where you feel at ease and aligned with what’s most important to you. As an HSP therapist, I can help you learn to embrace your sensitivity for all it has to offer.

My Specialties

  • Highly Sensitive People (HSP)

    Highly sensitive folks are a unique group, and we need HSP-specific skills to thrive in a non-sensitive world. Learn how to move from overstimulated and overwhelmed to grounded, centered, and satisfied.

  • Parenting

    From prenatal to postpartum and beyond, I’m here to support mamas of all stages. Parenting can be one of the toughest jobs we take on, but that doesn’t mean you have to struggle alone.

  • Anxiety & Burnout

    Feeling overwhelmed by the “normal” stressors of life is incredibly common. Together, we'll identify strategies to manage your anxious feelings and heal burnout.

You don’t have to do this alone anymore.

Every day, you’re doing the best you can.

You’re already working so hard. I can help make it a little easier, and I can help you make it really count.

I believe in you, and I know how strong you are. I’ll be there every step of the way, and I won’t ask you to do anything that you aren’t able to do yet. I I will be your biggest advocate and your loudest cheerleader until you learn to do it for yourself. 

You aren’t struggling because there’s something wrong with you. You’re struggling because you haven’t learned the skills to do things better.

Believe me - it can get so much better.

Together we can work to develop the skills and insight to handle the challenges that life throws at you.

Hi, I’m Jessie.

I am passionate about supporting women, with a special interest in maternal mental health and Highly Sensitive people. As an HSP mom of two young boys, I fully understand the challenge of embracing the chaos of parenting young kids while trying to maintain the order and peace necessary for my own emotional well-being.

It is so fulfilling to help women gain clarity about their values, learn to communicate their needs effectively, and create balanced lives that nourish their spirits.
