Bottom-up therapy for highly sensitive and neurodivergent folks in Washington State

Whether you feel everything too much or believe you don’t feel much at all, the result is the same:

Overthinking

Self-criticism

A ‘never enough’ mentality

Shapeshifting to avoid disappointing others.

Meanwhile, the effort of trying to get it all “right” leaves you resentful and exhausted—until you either shut down or go scorched earth.

Then comes the shame spiral: depleted, disconnected, and never satisfied with yourself or your relationships.

The Real Block

You’ve tried reframing thoughts, breathing exercises, and gaining insight into the past.

But knowing what should help isn’t the same as being able to feel or act differently.

The mismatch between what sounds true and what feels true (for you) is often a sign that old experiences are still running the show.

Times you felt rejected, shamed, or not good enough, can get stuck in your nervous system.

Even when you understand them logically, your body and emotions keep reacting as if they’re happening now.

The white-hot flush in your chest that once felt unbearable finally settles.
“Fundamentally flawed” softens into a sense of worth and adequacy.
When rejection or criticism looms, you recover instead of spiraling.
You feel freer to show up authentically—without hiding, pleasing, or proving.
Your relationships feel steadier because you no longer abandon yourself to avoid conflict or disapproval.

Together, we work at the level where those patterns actually live—

In your nervous system,
Your emotional memory, and
The protective parts of you that learned to survive before you had better options.

Once the old hurts are neutralized, everything else starts to move:

The tools you already know start to become usable in real life.

Change stops feeling like force and starts feeling possible.
