My name is Sarah, and I'm an Art Therapist and Transpersonal Counselor. I like to think of it as combining creative processing with soul-centered psychotherapy -- I love helping people transform through images. I counsel people who long for emotional/spiritual clarity and purpose, but feel overwhelmed by fear, shame, and grief. Through art therapy, EMDR, IFS, and PsychedeIic-Assisted Psychotherapy, I support clients in the process of exploring neglected areas of the self, so they can find meaning and direction in their lives.

"The only way out is through." I am committed to helping my clients discover what it means to truly live fully -- to experience healing in relationships, to understand their strength, to embrace their uniquenesses and to live a life of wholeness and adventure. At the core, I believe that we are relational beings, and while relationships are often the primary sources of our pain, they are also the primary conduits to our healing. Together we will find ways THROUGH the pain and into freedom. There is too much LIFE to be lived...too much adventure to be had...

The decision to seek therapy takes courage and a commitment to befriending yourself. I specialize in working with issues including PTSD/trauma, eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, self-harm, sexual abuse, grief and loss, divorce, major life transitions, personal growth, and the integration of spirituality through the body-mind connection, dreamwork, and creativity. I am dedicated to the healing and empowerment of girls and women who want to develop their self-acceptance and transform their current experiences into living a more authentic life.

I help adults and children facing anxiety, depression, grief, and the effects of abuse and trauma to find hope, manage emotions, and quiet thoughts. I'm trained in handling difficult issues like domestic violence, sexual assault, and adverse childhood experiences and can teach the skills to find meaning, a sense of belonging, and happiness. If are looking to change old habits and behavior, or to build new healthy ones, I can help by finding solutions that fit your lifestyle and personality.

Everyone wants to feel better, but I want to know: how does that look for you? My style is compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered, integrating concepts of somatic work, DBT, existential psychotherapy, parts work, EMDR, Neurostimulation and Neurofeedback. I specialize in working with adult survivors of childhood sexual assault, domestic violence, emotional abuse and neglect, grief and loss, and other traumas. My clients are living with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and existential questions.

I help individuals who are experiencing suffering and who want to experience healing and lasting change. Maybe you've experienced human-induced trauma, sexual abuse, spiritual abuse, relational conflict, feeling lost, alone, stuck, or simply feeling like some part of your life isn't working. Maybe you're struggling to feel your emotions, or you're confused about how your behavior and emotions are connected. I will work with you to help you understand the root of the issue and how your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are connected and we'll work together to create greater awareness, freedom, and health in your life.

“I feel lost and alone” “I feel uncomfortable in my own skin” “I worry about things out of my control” “I feel like I let my loved ones down” “I feel so disconnected from my partner”. These thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. We will work together to find solutions that work best for YOU. You are the expert in your own story. Life is full of challenges and I believe seeking support can be one of the toughest challenges we face. By looking at my profile, you’ve taken the first step to reach out for help which requires a lot of bravery - you should be so proud of yourself.

Seeking therapy is not always an easy decision and I welcome the decision of my clients to pursue change, greater life satisfaction and resolution of troublesome behaviors or relationships. Each client is unique and brings their own story. As a psychologist I try to help them find meaningful change leading to a more satisfactory life. My clinical focus is interpersonal trauma which includes sexual abuse, PTSD, and relationship issues. I also work with anxiety, life transitions, and attachment issues.

As a counselor and a person, I am heartfelt, playful, and energetic. I love incorporating the mind-body connection into my clinical work, and I love conducting therapy in unique spaces, including my farmhouse office and the acreage surrounding it. While I use play therapy with my child clients, I believe that incorporating playfulness and creativity into working with adolescents and adults can be helpful to communication, wellness, and healing. It is my deepest passion to journey with my clients as they grow, and to celebrate them as they move into ways of being, living, and loving that align with their heart’s deepest values!

Have you had adverse experiences in childhood or as an adult? Maybe you struggle to manage stress, or have difficulty with nightmares or sleep. Are you anxious, depressed, or fearful? Trauma takes on many forms: abuse, neglect, abandonment, divorce, assault, wartime experiences, accidents, or natural disasters, to name a few. I offer compassionate treatment for people who need assistance in overcoming the effects of disturbing events. I help clients improve their quality of life by developing coping skills, processing their thoughts, feelings and experiences, and empowering them to set healthy boundaries.

Life is unpredictable and challenging. Whether due to a life changing event that occurs in the blink of an eye, or circumstances existing for years or even decades, inevitably we all experience periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, isolated, inadequate, depressed, anxious, or even broken. Often these feelings are the byproduct of stress or even trauma. If not properly managed, the effects of stress and trauma will eventually have a detrimental effect on our careers, and, more importantly, our personal relationships and families. In some cases, our personal relationships may actually be the source of the stress or trauma.
