Welcome. You may be noticing changes or experiences that feel hard, or harder than before. This might be affecting you in different ways - with your happiness, with relationships, with work. You may notice some emotions and thoughts about others, about yourself, about your ability to do things, that cause you to feel stuck, down, anxious, angry, in pain, overwhelmed. You may be in transition in any number of ways and need someone to help you sort it all out.

I have 13 years of experience working with people and families going through cancer, chronic illness, and grief. I also have research and coaching experience for aiding healthcare professionals and others in addressing burnout and compassion fatigue. I take a strengths and values-based approach, and see our relationship as a collaborative effort.

Transitions are a natural progression in life, which at times can leave us feeling alone, overwhelmed, and terrified. Much like the seasons; our hopes, dreams, and relationships change. Maneuvering through these chapters in our lives can be a daunting process. In my experience, when a person can share their struggles within therapy, they can begin to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and how this influences their relationships with others.

Everyone experiences life stressors and at times, can become overwhelmed by them. I will work with you to help you navigate through the obstacles you are facing and hopefully overcome them. Whether you struggle with anxiety or depression, a particular life transition, or a more serious mental health condition, therapy can be beneficial for you. Let's work together to help you live your best life!

Transition feels like a natural progression throughout life. Much like seasons change from Summer to Fall; we experience the ebb and flow within relationships, dreams, families, and our internal worlds. Maneuvering through changes can be terrifying and sometimes overwhelming. I find through sharing our struggles one can start the process of gaining insight into ourselves and our relationships. It is my belief that most people have an innate need for connection and a natural desire to be seen, heard, and understood. I find patients begin to develop stronger connections and experience more lasting relief through our relationship.

Feeling overwhelmed? Out of control? Dealing with major life changes? Or desiring a life change that you just can't quite grasp? Each of us is created with the ability to manage life's challenges but we don't always see clearly amidst the struggle. Connecting with someone in a safe, affirming, non-judgmental, and solution-focused environment can help you uncover your inner-strengths and see a way out from those feelings of suffering. With more than 18 years of practice experience, Sarah is well equipped to walk with you through any challenge.

I believe therapeutic relationships rooted in attachment can help ease burdens, and restore hope, even during seasons of great suffering. Feeling stuck in life patterns can sometimes isolate us, create hopelessness, and erode self-esteem. Feeling isolated can affect how we feel about ourselves and think about our bonds with friends, family, and business colleagues. In therapy, we work towards a therapeutic relationship rooted in authenticity, honesty, and trust to encourage hope through the restoration of connections. As the therapeutic relationship deepens, individuals develop insight into what initially brought them to see me.

Feeling stuck, apathetic, overwhelmed, angry, worried, depressed, anxious, hopeless, or disconnected is exhausting and isolating. Many of our systems are designed to keep you this way, and you deserve more. I believe every person has an innate resilience, that helps us adapt to an ever changing world. I work to meet people where they are, connecting to the strength, courage, and insight already present and exploring areas for transformation and growth.

Lately, you've noticed your child/teen has seemed off. They've been upset, moody, and difficult to manage. You're uncertain what they are going through but you know this can't go on. You're beginning to feel worried and anxious about what might be troubling them. Maybe you've seen some troubling signs. Lack of energy, poor hygiene, or disconnected from friends. Self-harm or expressing suicidal thoughts. Sneaking around, angry outbursts, fighting, or risky behaviors like experimenting with alcohol/drugs. Hello! I'm here to help your child, teen, or college student overcome anxiety, depression, grief, and anger.

Life happens, and at times, its challenges cause us to experience intense emotions or feelings of defeat. These challenges can create complications, especially if it is traumatic. Whether that trauma is due to an unexpected event, like the death of a loved one, sexual assault, recent incarceration, or something else entirely, you should not have to navigate life's challenges alone. I want to partner with you through your challenges and assist in developing strategies that will support in smoothing out life's transitions.

I am heartened by people's willingness to reach out and courageously rediscover hope. The journey of life can be challenging and overwhelming.
