I am someone who listens to you closely, helps you feel safe being vulnerable, appreciates eccentricity, and is curious about your life. I can hold your strong feelings, contradictions, and complexities, and help you make some sense of it all. I believe there is great relief in being truly understood and accepted, and change comes more easily after I have reflected and honored your experience. I will ask you questions that gently open new ways of imagining your life that you hadn't wondered about before. I will guide you in reaching a place of deeper awareness and strength. I offer sessions in my office and on private forest trails.

Consider what it would be like to live without self-doubt and less worry. Consider enjoying a moment for the experience instead of re-visiting experiences over and over in your mind by allowing your thoughts to spin stories that often begin with "what if . . ." or "I should have . . ." The role of a therapist is not to be in the middle of troubles and is not about giving advice or telling someone what to do. However, many people feel that once they have a trusted "neutral" person to speak their stories to then they have begun the process of healing.

Therapy isn’t always the first choice—it's often a last ditch effort. But if you’re stuck in the same arguments, feeling emotionally distant, or spinning in your own head, it might be time for real change. Maybe you’ve tried books, podcasts, or tough talks, but nothing sticks. I help couples and individuals break old patterns, improve communication, and build deeper emotional connection.
I work primarily as a couples therapist. I also enjoy working with men's issues (intimacy, communication), women who want it all, healthcare professionals and individuals with substance use disorders.

I help people who have anxiety, overwhelm, or stressful relationships find clarity and serenity. In 2014, after years of talk therapy and recovery work, I became frustrated by the lack of progress in a few key areas. I decided to go deeper and I combined "parts work" with a mediation facilitation process. The healing I experienced was astounding. I researched other practitioners who were working at these deep levels, began studying evidence based techniques with Sarah Peyton, and I implemented these life changing models into my work. A past client posted: "Sara’s way of providing help creates peace in the battle zone of my brain."

I am a strength based therapist and have been in practice for over 15 years. It is my belief that each of us possess unique and special gifts, aspects of our true selves, that allow for us to healthfully manage difficult and painful circumstances. Depression, anxiety, grief/loss, low self-esteem, relationship issues often dull our light and impede our ability to access the gifts we inherently possess. Through an integrative approach that utilizes aspects of psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work and a dash of mysticism, it is my honor to witness as you gain insight into your own sacred self.

Do you secretly desire to be enlivened and peaceful, while feeling like the world is on fire and spinning out of control? Does it feel like your moral obligation to be miserable and living in joy would be rude and naive?
Are you looking for a safe, nurturing environment with a highly skilled practitioner? Especially an authentic person who believes that the process can and should include laughter? Clients are often pleasantly surprised with the wide array of tools and experience I draw on, including guided visualizations, which are created based on your needs and are emailed to you, to access at any time.

What would your life look like if you were kinder to yourself? Chances are pretty good that you could use a little more self-compassion. You've always been hard on yourself, which has helped you achieve your goals and thrive. But even though you do it all and manage well, there’s still a quiet sense that something is missing. Many of the women and moms I work with are juggling ADHD, stress, anxiety, and the invisible load of parenting. And they often feel alone. Instead, we work together to create space for clarity, strategies, and a more fulfilling, supported life! I'd love to help you find balance and ease in this new chapter.

Counseling is a process, not an end goal; and it’s a process by which challenges can be defined, addressed, and worked on. It’s a process that brings a therapist and a client into safe and confidential relationship built on trust and authenticity. The counselor encourages strength and establishes hope for real change through connection and exploration. We consider choices, challenges, and triumphs together, recognizing that while difficult, change is the vehicle we sometimes need to reach our destination or desired goal.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
