Maybe you are here because you're feeling stressed after a difficult, scary, or painful life event. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed and isolated by your emotions. Maybe you're already feeling not good enough and the idea of talking to someone feels like a lot. But at the same time, you're considering that what you need most might be acceptance and a safe person to process with. If you or your child/teen are feeling stuck, I am glad you are here! I can help you reconnect with your sense of calm and work through your struggles to find your growth.

Welcome! I’m Sarah, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward growth, healing, and connection. Relationships are hard, and finding the right therapist can be too—I'm here to help with both. I understand how important it is to work with a therapist who truly “gets” where you’re coming from. My practice is a space where all parts of you are welcomed and celebrated, whether you're navigating identity, relationships, trauma, or life transitions. My approach is holistic, trauma-focused, and flexible to what works best for you. And yes, I believe in finding moments for humor along the way—therapy doesn’t have to be all serious!

As we have all quickly learned, to partake in the full human experience means to experience suffering. Whether it be grief, excessive guilt, or a painful past, we all have pain that is worthy of being listened to. I believe our struggles are only exacerbated when we resist and don't listen to what needs to be expressed.

“It turns out life isn’t a puzzle that can be solved one time and it’s done. You wake up every day, and you solve it again.” – Chidi Anagonye, The Good Place. Therapy is the most successful when the client and therapist are both working together to create positive change. As your partner in therapy, I provide honest and straightforward communication, an abundance of empathy, and compassionate education. I strive to foster an environment where you feel heard, validated, trusted, and empowered. No one should have to struggle alone, so let's work together to solve life's puzzles.

You worry entirely too much and feel that the world is much too big. You are scared by all the possibilities, frightened by the fear of making choices. You linger way too long in bed dreading each day, wondering why the world seems like such a scary place. You find certain smells, certain tastes and certain sounds draw you back to a world that you try to escape.

Do you feel constantly overwhelmed & burnt out, but can't seem to say "no" to anyone? Do you find yourself going above & beyond for everyone else & just wanting the same in return? Do you feel like you don't know who you are, but there is a part of you that feels like she isn't good enough? I help women just like you learn how to navigate relationships, build self-confidence, challenge anxious thoughts, & learn how create healthy boundaries - all of the the stuff you wish they taught in school. It might feel like you are falling behind and changing things in your life is impossible, but you not only can do it, you deserve it.

Sorting through all your thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming. Sometimes one emotion or thought takes over and drowns out everything else. I’m here to help you find clarity and peace in all of it. Therapy in my office is about amplifying your authentic voice over all the noise. Anti- racism and fighting all oppression is central to my practice. I’m neurodivergent and love working with others who fall into this category (with or without an “official” diagnosis).

I believe identity is a critical part of self-understanding and healing. For this reason, I enjoy working with folks who are looking to explore their identities which might include sexuality, gender, race, religion, physical and mental ability, and roles in society. I am cognizant that our identities shape our personal and lived experiences in the world, and this continually impacts how and what we need to heal. I approach therapy from a non-religious standpoint, but have a deep interest in how religion impacts people, including ways that it can act as a source of trauma, while also acknowledging that it can be a source of support.

The path to wellness and freedom involves choosing to start or continue a journey of healing and restoration. My desire is to help individuals, couples, and families along their own unique paths of transformation, change, and growth. I believe that emotional and relational wellness are an important piece of a holistic picture of health. I am a proponent of therapy because I have personally experienced the benefits and the sense of empowerment that comes from the process.

Feeling alone with your problems is really tough. I know how lonely and powerless this can feel. Do you want to let go of your frustrations, anxieties, stressors or sadness? You can and you don't have to do it alone. What if you could understand and accept yourself fully, including your imperfections? What if you could understand and accept others in the same way? You can become the person you want you want to be.

We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.
