I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, identity-affirming space where we can explore what may be causing difficulty in your life. Our early childhood relationships, along with stressful and traumatic life events deeply shape our sense of self. I help my clients develop self-compassion and acceptance while addressing and healing the root causes of their trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, and grief. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative experience between therapist and client. Together we will envision where you want to be and I will support and challenge you to grow and heal.

Welcome to my page! I'm passionate first about listening well, and then secondly, guiding you through the change and transformation process. Maybe you have been struggling to feel hopeful. Or maybe you're confused about who you really are underneath the masks you wear. Perhaps you're noticing patterns in your life and you're not sure how to change. Or maybe you have experienced one too many losses and are struggling to grieve. I believe you are here because you're working up the courage to do something different. I believe you are here because you want to experience hope and healing.

I like working with college and graduate students. Individuals and couples who want to enhance their quality of life and will do the work and exploration that this journey may require. I am very engaging and will be active with you in the process. I have over forty years as a clinical Social Worker. I have a certification as a certified Sex Therapist and educator .(ASSECT) I work with new parents and families trying to become parents.

I utilize an embodied and integrated approach to support clients to heal from past wounds and improve current functioning. As a body-oriented therapist, I believe attending to posture, gesture, breath, tensions, voice, and movement can yield powerful insights and changes in how we experience ourselves and the world and facilitate the integration of body, mind and spirit toward fuller authentic living. Often, we need to encounter what we find within us to be deeply unacceptable, painful, and terrifying to be set free and transform. As a compassionate, supportive guide, I am humbled and honored to accompany my clients on this journey.

Hi! I am Sarah (she/they). I have extensive experience working with individuals facing mental health and social challenges, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, coming out to family, imposter syndrome, and existential fears. I particularly enjoy working with people who are experiencing life transitions which they have chosen to take upon themselves because it aligns with their values and goals.

Not able to accommodate new clients until June 2016. I have over 10 years experience providing psychological services in a number of settings including Private Practice, University Counseling Centers, and Community Mental Health. My doctoral training emphasized multicultural awareness and this focus has continued through my work to date. I have experience working with diverse populations, including sexual, racial/ethnic, and religious minorities, persons with disabilities, etc. Not only am I experienced and comfortable working with diverse populations, I am very passionate about and greatly enjoy this work. Additionally, I am an LGBTQ-affirmative and sex positive therapist.

My approach to therapy is simple. I believe it begins with an open conversation between two or more individuals. It is a collaborative process where my role as the therapist is to help facilitate the session dictated by your needs. Sharing thoughts, fears, hopes and concerns in a non-judgmental atmosphere fosters a safe and welcoming environment for personal growth. I provide counseling to individuals, couples, families, and young adults. My areas of interest include: anxiety; depression; life transitions; parenting; Postpartum Depression & Anxiety; trauma; stress management; couples counseling; family therapy; and career stress.

I have been in private practice for the past approximately 25 years working primarily with adults, both individually and in couples. Although I have considerable experience with what may be described as more serious anxiety and depressive disorders, my practice more typically has consisted of individuals/couples interested in working on quality of life, relationship and general adjustment issues.

I use 14+ years of experience to connect with your struggle, build a foundation of skills, then help you make the changes that will be sustainable. My time as a husband, father, college soccer coach, and brief drifter (LOL) allows me to empathize with many situations, difficulties and strengths.

I am a seasoned psychologist with significant experience counseling clients on career, addictions and family issues, in addition to depression, anxiety and general mental health problems. You can deal with issues of personal happiness and personal growth. We can create a dialogue about present situations and future plans.
