Therapy for highly sensitive people, deep feelers, and those overwhelmed by intense emotions.

in Minneapolis/St. Paul and throughout Minnesota

You feel intensely because you’re built to experience life fully. Sensitivity isn’t something to ‘fix’ — it’s a powerful inner resource that, when understood, becomes a guide toward emotional strength, purpose, and connection.

When your emotions feel heavy, you don't have to carry them alone.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, doing everything you can, and still ending up in the same place?

You're not alone. And you don't have to keep doing this on your own.

Your emotions feel intense—too much, too difficult to manage, and impossible to ignore. You've become so used to holding it all together that few people see how much you're carrying. On the outside, you seem fine. Underneath, you're managing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and a growing sense of disconnection from yourself. You're going through the motions instead of truly living.

You've been told you're "too sensitive," and over time it can start to feel like something is wrong with you. But your sensitivity isn't a flaw—it's a deep and powerful part of who you are. And that's okay. So are you. ​

You want to feel more alive—more awake in your life: more present, curious, and intentional about how you show up each day. You don't want to just get through the day. You want to truly live—to thrive and feel connected. You want to create the life you crave.

I work with highly sensitive people (HSP) and deep feelers

who want more resilience, peace of mind, and connection but aren't sure how to get there. Together, we'll make sense of the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen your ability to navigate difficult emotions, and build practical skills so you can respond to life with greater confidence, resilience, and intention.

With 25 years of experience and intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based therapies, and trauma-informed care, I'll help you understand what's keeping you stuck and teach you practical skills to manage difficult emotions, navigate relationships with greater confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Change doesn't come from pushing harder. It comes from slowing down long enough to notice what's happening, understanding your emotions instead of fighting them, and choosing a new way forward. Mindfulness isn't about emptying your mind—it's about learning to respond instead of react. That's a superpower.

You can feel anchored in your emotions, rooted in who you are, and confident in how you move through the world. You don't need to become less sensitive to suffer less. You need the skills to understand your emotions, respond to them effectively, and build a life that reflects what matters most to you. I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Hello and Welcome!

I’m Kim, and I am so happy you are here!

I’m so happy you found me! As a highly sensitive person myself, I know what it feels like to experience the world in vivid color — deep emotions, overwhelm, and also an INCREDIBLE capacity for empathy, creativity, and connection. I also know how important it is to have the right support to help turn those big feelings into strength and resilience.

For the past 25 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping other highly sensitive people and big feelers find balance, calm, and confidence. My training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was my first introduction to mindfulness, and it completely changed my life. I have continued to deepen my work with mindfulness-based therapies, trauma-informed care, and skills-based approaches that empower people to manage emotional intensity and live with greater ease and more joy.

Therapy, to me, isn’t a one-size-fits-all. It’s art, science, and heart combined — tailored to help you create the life you want. I will meet you where you are, help you understand what’s holding you back, and give you tools that really work.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our pups. I am a mother to two handsome young men. Things that bring me joy, and oh there are so many, are live music, nature, gardening, architecture, indulging in podcasts and learning new things.
