Hi, I’m Sarah Beth (she/they). I’m a White genderqueer therapist who provides individual, couples, and family therapy in person and online. I specialize in individual & family therapy for queer and transgender youth and their families. I provide a safe, affirming, and age-appropriate space for nurturing, acceptance, and self-exploration. I understand therapy as one tool among many for supporting youth and adults to find more joy and resilience in their daily lives. I support clients to increase their capacity to be active participants in building a better world, through attunement to relationships with self and others.
We might be a good fit if you are: a caregiver/parent who wants to learn more about affirming care for queer & transgender youth, a queer or trans person looking for a compassionate and relationally focused therapist, interested in therapy that includes opportunities for creativity, directive activities, & learning concrete tools for self-regulation.
I love working with kids of all ages, especially queer and trans youth and their families! I believe that therapy can be a connective, playful, and imaginative space for self-expression, exploring identities in a safe container, and improving relationships with self, family, partners, and community.

Sarah Beth is a warm engaging therapist, which is needed to engage both the client and their families. Sarah Beth is willing to explore ways to engage the entire family unit to support the needs of the child. Certainly a trusted and caring provider.

I love using play based approaches for working with both kids and adults! All of my therapy is client led, meaning that clients are active participants in deciding what happens in session. I enjoy offering options for clients to chose from, providing space for exploration, and working with clients to find the most meaningful way to spend our time in session together.
