Therapy for Introverted Sensitive Teens & Adults

Embrace the life that’s right for the Introverted or Quiet/Sensitive You

Many quiet and/or sensitive or introverted teens and adults lack self acceptance, have difficulty expressing their emotions in a healthy way and struggle to build relationships. Quiet or Introverted teens and young adults can also struggle with social anxiety which impacts their confidence, causes stress with attending school, being a team member at work, playing group sports, and with making friends and developing relationships.

I provide the tools and guide you to create a more fulfilling life that allows you to embrace who you are.
