Does this sound like you?
You feel everything intensely, often to the point of overwhelm.
Many highly sensitive adults carry internalized messages from family and our surrounding culture that shape how you see yourself, your body, your worth, and your role in the world. These beliefs can create anxiety, pressure, perfectionism, and patterns with self-care that feel hard to break.
Hey, I’m Keri!
I know exactly how you feel.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in Tampa, FL, and I work with highly sensitive adults who are tired of carrying old messages about who they should be, how they should look, and how they’re expected to show up in the world. These struggles aren’t just things I’ve trained in—they’re things I’ve lived. I know what it’s like to fight with your body, feel overwhelmed by your sensitivity, or try to untangle yourself from the expectations you absorbed growing up. In my practice, I offer a warm, grounded space where you don’t have to perform, apologize, or hold everything together. My goal is to help you feel more at home in yourself—to approach your body, food, emotions, parenting and relationships with more compassion, clarity, and choice, whether we’re meeting in my cozy Tampa office or virtually anywhere in Florida or Vermont.
Something needs to change.
You may be a highly sensitive adult who:
Feels emotions intensely and thinks constantly—often to the point of overwhelm or anxiety
Absorbed internalized messages from family, society, or diet culture about how you should look, eat, parent, perform, or behave
Struggles with body image concerns, food rules, emotional eating, or feeling disconnected from your body
Experiences cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or chronic self-criticism
Feels pressure to hold everything together and “do it right,” even when you’re exhausted
Notices that stress shows up in your relationship with your own emotional well-being
Longs for a calmer, more grounded way of living that aligns with your values—not old patterns, rules, or expectations
Wants to unlearn the beliefs that keep you stuck and build more self-trust, compassion, and emotional safety

Highly sensitive adults
Many people feel stuck in cycles of dieting, food rules, shame, or constant body monitoring. I help you untangle the internalized messages from diet culture that have shaped how you see your body and relate to food. Together, we work toward a more compassionate, flexible, and trusting relationship with yourself—one that isn’t driven by guilt, pressure, or “shoulds” through a weight neutral and anti-diet lens.
My Specialities
relationship with food and body
I help HSPs navigate anxiety, past trauma, self-esteem struggles, body image concerns, and the pressure to “hold it all together,” especially in parenting and relationships. Together, we unpack the internalized messages that keep you overwhelmed or self-critical and build a more grounded, compassionate way of living. My goal is to help you feel understood, regulated, and more at home in yourself—without changing who you are.
Self-esteem
Low self-esteem often grows from years of internalized messages about who you’re supposed to be, how you should look, and what counts as “enough.” I help highly sensitive adults understand the roots of their self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can begin relating to themselves with more compassion and confidence. We challenge old narratives and build a grounded sense of self-worth.
Therapy Approaches

Brainspotting
Brainspotting helps you tap into and release the emotional tension and old wounds your body has been holding onto—especially the ones talking through can’t quite reach. It gives your nervous system a way to process what’s been stuck so you can feel calmer, clearer, and more at ease in your daily life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS helps you get to know the different parts of yourself—especially the ones that feel anxious, critical, overwhelmed, or stuck—without judging or fighting them. When those parts feel understood instead of pushed away, you can make choices from a calmer, more grounded place and feel more like your true self.

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
SPACE helps parents learn new ways of responding to their child’s anxiety by focusing on supportive interactions instead of accommodations. By shifting how you respond to your child’s emotions and gently reducing patterns that escalate anxiety, SPACE supports your child in building confidence and independence while strengthening your connection as a family.
