Creating space between “I feel triggered” and “I just blew up”
Somatic and IFS informed therapy for highly sensitive women in California
Helping you create harmony within and between you and your person
I’m glad you made it
You’re here because you’re wise enough to know something has to change; but you’re so overwhelmed you don’t even know what to work on first.
You’re a high‑achieving, sensitive woman who tries to hold it together, yet inside you feel anxious, guilty and ashamed. You keep having the same fights with the person you love most, replaying your social interactions and feeling insecure, stuck in your phone, and exhausted by your own reactivity and overthinking.
As for your relationship; part of you thinks about leaving, another part is terrified to lose this relationship. In this space, we don’t shame those parts; we listen to them through your body and through compassion.
My practice is a soft landing for HSP, often neurodivergent women who are tired of talk‑only therapy and ready for something deeper, softer, and more embodied. Together, we work with your nervous system and your parts so that you can unblend from your inner critic, soften perfectionism and people‑pleasing, and create more space between “I feel triggered” and “I just blew up.”
We’ll practice noticing sensations, grounding, and self‑connection real time, so you can move from reacting on impact to communicating your needs calmly, clearly and confidently. Over time, you become someone you actually like being with: more spacious, grounded, and self compassionate, with a relationship and a daily life that feel less like survival mode and more vacation‑adjacent.
The Vibe Here
If traditional talk therapy hasn’t felt like enough, or you’ve found yourself saying “I know this already, but I still feel stuck,” you’re not alone. So many of the clients I work with are highly self aware, but still feeling stuck (and so was I!).
I’m Gaby, a licensed therapist in California; and I’m grateful you landed on my website, because perhaps I can share with you some hope.
Somatic therapy helps us to go deeper and heal through body’s wisdom. When the mind knows one thing, but the body keeps auto-pilot spiraling back into old patterns, knowing is no longer enough.
In our work together, we’ll slow down.
We’ll listen closely- not just to your thoughts, but to your body, your emotions, and the quieter parts of you that often get drowned out by the noise of responsibility, perfectionism, and pressure to “do it right.”
Somatic therapy is a heart centered, bottom-up approach designed to help you feel instead of just think.
What To Expect In Therapy
We might…
Practice body-based strategies to gently regulate your nervous system and ease you out of fight or flight
Explore parts work through an IFS-informed lens to help you unblend from perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, and reactive patterns with tenderness
Use guided visualization, movement, or expressive techniques to give voice to the parts of you that have never had a truly safe space to speak or process those deeper burdens
Create space for grief, longing, or joy through grounding, art, or imagination
Build creative rituals or grounding practices that feel true to your inner world, not just what the textbooks say “should” work
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. This is deep, creative, somatic healing; therapy that honors who you are, what your system has carried so quietly, and what it truly longs for now.
Together, we’ll move toward:
Feeling more at home in your body
Reclaiming your voice and needs in your relationships
Resting without guilt
Accessing clarity and confidence without perfectionist pressure
Letting go of “performing” your healing, and actually embodying it
Becoming a more grounded and less reactive partner
Learning to accept, honor, and love yourself with sweetness
I trust that your body holds the answers. We just need to find those gentle trailheads inward, so your inner wisdom can be seen, heard, and lovingly transmuted.

Types of Therapy
Therapy for highly sensitive people:
Being a highly sensitive person isn’t something you chose; it’s simply the way your system is wired. Being an HSP doesn’t automatically mean you have a mental health disorder; it means you have a particular temperament that takes in a lot at once; you are deeply tuned in, deeply aware, and deeply impacted by what happens inside you and around you. Whether it is sensory input, big emotions, or a sense of threat in relationships, your experiences can feel intense and overwhelming, especially when you are already exhausted. Many HSPs also live with ADHD, autism, and or OCD; when they are triggered, it can feel almost impossible to “think” their way back to balance or rely only on logic and traditional CBT tools. This is why I love somatic therapy; it gives HSPs a gentler, body based and feelings based way to find steadiness again, so minds can soften instead of spiral.
Therapy for relationship issues:
You’re in a long-term relationship or marriage that you deeply care about; you want more harmony, more ease, and happier energy between you and your partner, and in your home. You’ve probably wondered so many times if the problem is the relationship itself, or if it is somehow you; therapy is such a gentle place to sort that out and find clarity. If you’ve come close to breaking up, separating, or even divorce, or if you’ve walked that path before and found your way back together, your body might be holding onto stress and old attachment wounds that keep bubbling up. Somatic therapy offers a kind, inward way to meet those tender places; we heal them slowly, one mindful breath and one safe moment at a time.
Therapy for anxiety:
Anxiety doesn’t have to be your permanent state; it is really just a habit loop that we can gently interrupt together. You might feel it show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, or endless overthinking; maybe even in your body with chest tightness, trouble swallowing, nausea, heart palpitations, shivering, tingling, or headaches. Anxiety learns to stay anxious over time; but with sweetness and patience, we can teach it a new way to be. Sometimes traditional talk therapy or CBT can leave a sensitive person feeling even more overwhelmed; somatic therapy invites us right into the sensation with curiosity and care, so we can connect with it, soften our relationship to it, and let it release.
Therapy for childhood trauma:
Your rational thinking brain, often called the frontal cortex, connects to the lower regions of your brain; those deeper areas handle survival instincts and emotional processing through the limbic system. These connections run through delicate neural pathways. When a child or young person experiences trauma, those pathways can become strained or weakened over time. This is why adults with early trauma often feel triggered so quickly and intensely; their limbic system responds with a flood of emotion before the thinking brain can catch up. For many, this creates a chronically activated state, full of hypervigilance, panic, or constant quiet stress. Somatic therapy works gently with that deeper limbic space directly, bypassing overthinking, so real healing can unfold with kindness and slowness.
Therapy that gets to the root of things. Regulate your nervous system and rewire your core beliefs.
Through bottom-up therapy, we start with the deeper parts of your brain first; the emotional, sensory, and survival areas that hold so much. This gentle approach rewires those old patterns and helps you meet triggering moments with more softness and steadiness over time.
At Mindful Revamp, Inc., my approach, being bottom-up, draws from somatic experiencing and Internal Family Systems with a lot of warmth and curiosity. We tune into your body to feel, explore, process, and release the tender wounds underneath your anxiety, perfectionism, reactivity, and people-pleasing; those patterns often rooted in early attachment hurts that deserve attention and kindness now.
If you find yourself stuck in your head, swirling with overthinking, anxiety, insecurity, irritability, or resentment, there might be deeper places in your body asking to be met. Instead of focusing in only on the stories of your life, somatic therapy sweetly focuses in on the story our body tells now. We work from the limbic system up to your thinking brain; creating lasting calm from the inside out.
My Therapy Approach; to help you heal from the inside out
I take a mindfulness and somatic, body-based approach to therapy; often called a “bottom-up” approach that feels so gentle and right for tender systems like yours. These methods meet you in the deeper regions of your brain first, helping restructure old beliefs and soften your relationship to yourself with patience and sweetness. This is especially powerful when you already “know better” but find it so hard to “do better”; we create that bridge through your body instead of forcing it through your mind.
I use parts work to gently explore the protective parts of you that step forward from stress, trauma, and old emotional wounds; those tender adaptations that have kept you safe for so long. Together we help unburden those parts with so much care, so you can reconnect to your truest, calmest, most compassionate, and confident self. We get to know your internal family system on a deep, loving level; this lets you lead from a grounded place instead of having triggered parts take the wheel.
I weave in creative and playful interventions like dance, embodiments, intuitive movement, visualization, and art; all with such a gentle, inviting touch. Through these joyful, movement-filled ways of being together, we softly heal the relationship between your inner child and you; creating a space where play meets presence and old hurts can start to soften.
