Welcome! My name is Sarai, and I'm glad you're here. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or disconnected from yourself, I want you to know that change is possible & you don't have to navigate it alone. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, & complex trauma (including childhood, sexual, narcissistic, religious, psychedelic, and high-demand group experiences), life transitions, existential concerns, fear of change, difficulty stepping into the life you want, & psychedelic assisted therapy preparation & integration.
My approach is client-centered, relational, & holistic. I combine psychoeducation, Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, Breathwork, & EMDR to help you understand, process, & integrate your experiences while creating meaningful & lasting change. I create a friendly, warm, & non-judgemental space where you can explore your goals & self.
I would be honored to support you on your journey. I offer free consultations where we will get to know each other, see if we are a good fit, and create a plan of action for moving forward. All services are offered online throughout Arizona, with coaching available nationwide.
