Therapy for Highly Sensitive Women with Attachment Trauma

​
You feel deeply, notice everything, and long for close connection,
yet carry a quiet belief that you’re somehow not enough.
​
​
You may be highly insightful and self-aware, but still struggle with anxiety, an overactive inner critic, or feeling responsible for other people’s emotions.
Maybe you grew up in a family where you were left to figure out your emotions on your own or experienced trauma that disrupted safety and belonging. Intellectually, you know why you are the way you are but your body still reacts as if the past is happening now.
​
​
You might deeply want connection with your family while slowly realizing they can’t show up in the way you needed. Grieving that truth can feel just as painful as the trauma itself.
If you’re highly sensitive and experienced attachment trauma, your nervous system may still be holding hope, vigilance, and self-blame all at once.
This can look like:
-
A chronic feeling of being unworthy or fundamentally flawed.
-
An inner critic that asks, Why am I not enough?
-
Longing for closeness with family while struggling to accept its limits.
-
Anxiety, people-pleasing, or over-functioning in relationships.
-
Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions.
-
Knowing your patterns but still feeling stuck in them.
These responses aren’t failures. They’re the imprint of a nervous system that learned connection required self-abandonment.

Hi, I’m Mindy.
I help highly sensitive women understand how their past shaped their nervous system, their relationships, and the way they see themselves without judgment or rushing the process.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply attuned.
I believe your sensitivity is not a flaw, it’s a strength that developed in response to your environment.
Together, we work to create safety within your body, soften the inner critic, and help you feel more secure and worthy in your relationships, including the one with yourself.
I integrate EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, inner child work, and somatic approaches to support healing that is both gentle and transformative.
You don’t need to become someone new to heal; you get to come home to yourself.
