Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of CA. I have experience working with children, families, and older adults. Throughout the years, I have found my passion working with women and older adults. Whatever brings you on your search for a therapist, whether it be trauma or loss, you don't have to walk through it alone. The biggest influence on my therapy practice is my own experience in therapy. Going to therapy is hard work (not to mention expensive!) - but I saw measurable differences in myself. This is data I draw upon when I say that change is always possible.

Does anxiety, fear, sadness, grief, confusion, helplessness, anger, or shame overwhelm you? Maybe a recent loss or previous trauma affects the way you are coping. Perhaps you struggle to navigate your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, or relationships. Let me help you find meaning, patterns, and ultimately relief, with compassion, insight, and tools to heal. Through this process, I hope you will find a greater sense of calm, clarity, and agency.

I have clinical experience in the areas of grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, crisis management, suicide prevention, life transitions, parenting stress, and reproductive and maternal mental health.

Special interests: relationship breakthroughs; affairs, infidelity, betrayal, trust; couples communication; treatment for health professionals and first responders; coping with a cancer diagnosis; in-depth growth work for individuals; coping with anxiety and depression; loss/ grief/ bereavement.
Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process - you want to find someone you'll 'click with' and whose style meets your needs. I'm an interactive therapist and I do more than just ask "how does that make you feel?" A lot happens in a single session. I keep things moving along, edging towards your goals, and calling you on things that are in conflict with what you say you want. I offer a safe space for you to be heard, understood, and challenged.

As a consequence of my personal experience and familiarity with complex grief and related issues, as well as my clinical focus, I believe I have some helpful tools to assist my clients in feeling less isolated and more understood while also working with them to regain their lives.

I also have experience working with people dealing with challenges such as bipolar disorder. I provide both individual and group therapy.

Loneliness, career decisions, retirement, grief, or receiving a serious health diagnosis are some areas I work with.
For the times you feel you have thoughts and feelings you cannot share with anyone, meeting with a therapist offers a contained space to reveal these parts of yourself. In my office, there is no right way to be in therapy. You are not the only person who might feel like a fraud in your own life.The unending thoughts about yourself or your life that are not so kind can stop. I welcome the full expression of the complexity of your emotions and experience.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I work with clients of all ages who need help and support in the areas of stress management, relationship discord, parenting, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, and adjustment to life transitions, such as divorce, the diagnosis of a serious illness, and empty nest.
To be heard and understood is one of our most basic, fundamental human needs. Losses, life transitions, relationships, and even extended periods of stress can cause us to feel confused, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. You are not alone if you have found yourself struggling in any of these areas. My primary goal is to welcome you into a safe and collaborative space where personal growth can be fostered, and hope can begin.

By tending to their grief, clients have discovered new potentials, profound transformation and, more importantly, hope.
" Grief does not change you...it reveals you."- John Green. Loss comes in many forms; death of a loved one, family trauma, end of a relationship or job, a move/ loss of home, and health issues. Experiencing grief because of loss can make us turn away just when we need the most support. We can also get triggered at certain times, especially around the holidays. Reaching out takes courage and I provide a safe, nonjudgmental and caring space to help clients express complicated emotions, manage anxiety/sleep issues, learn coping skills and practice self-care during these life changing transitions.
