Meet Patti, the therapist's therapist

​

I identify myself as:

​

 Highly Sensitive Person    |     Introvert      |    INFJ/ISFJ  (Myers-Briggs)

Recovering Perfectionist     |    ADHD    |      Devotee of Ice Cream

​

​

​

Growing up I was always told I was too sensitive.  I remember being told that I

needed to toughen up and to stop letting things bother me. 

 

​

I would always tear up at sad country songs and could never watch those sad animals in

the Humane Society commercials.  Seeing images of people or animals suffering

always stuck with me and I couldn't shake them.  

​

​

For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with me because I felt things so strongly.  

It wasn't until I found out that I was HIGHLY SENSITIVE that it all made sense.

​

​

Now I see my high sensitivity as a  positive! 

​

​

Along the way I discovered ways to navigate our non-highly sensitive, extroverted world.

​

​

I learned ways to cancel out negative self-beliefs and anxiety-provoking thoughts,

reduce overstimulation and overwhelm, overcome perfectionism, and set personal boundaries.  

​

​

It is my purpose to help YOU do the same.  

 

​

I want you to feel comfortable in your own skin

and no longer feel inadequate or like there is something wrong with you.

​

​

You shouldn't be made to feel like you have to "get over" your sensitivities

in order to fit in. 

​

​

Because I have these empathic traits, I have a good understanding of the unique

needs of someone with Innate Sensitivity.

​

​

Is that you?
