I knew at a young age that I was different—I was more sensitive, empathetic and intuitive than most people around me. I also knew that I wouldn’t be satisfied in my life if I didn’t go into a profession that helped people. I am sure I chose the right profession since people often tell me I am a great listener, non-judgmental, kind and sensitive. My professional experiences, curiosity, empathy and commitment to my clients helps to creates a strong therapeutic relationship and working with you—an invested and engaged client can allow a process of growth and movement. Learning about HSP has brought me to a different level of understanding of people and this knowledge can help my clients (individuals, couples and families) as well as staff at organizations and in academic settings.
