I believe therapy can be transformative, but it also requires vulnerability and risk. As your therapist, I aim to create a warm and accepting space where you can reflect on yourself from a place of acceptance and genuine curiosity. I approach our relationship from a place of authenticity, empathy, and hope.

I have offered somatic psychotherapy (touch and tablework) since 2007 for people who are working on trauma, their window of tolerance, and relationships / attachment issues. This work may also bring up family of origin issues that may also be unresolved. I combine somatic, IFS, and attachment modalities. My somatic training also provides expertise in helping those with chronic illness or pain and how this is related to mental health. Somatic work also is for those with after-effects of surgeries or accidents.

I often joke that I took my first college psychology class as a DIY project because I was trying to better understand my own struggles. I know how difficult it can feel when anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or past experiences start getting in the way of fully enjoying life. The good news is that things can get better, and therapy can be a powerful tool for creating real change.
I primarily work with older teens, college students, and adults who feel stuck and want practical tools to move forward. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, ADHD, addiction, overthinking, low motivation, trauma, life transitions, or depression.

I love what I do! I connect well with my clients, and I particularly enjoy working with individuals struggling to make the transition from adolescence to adulthood - no matter the age. This is often a challenging time during which counseling can help assess expectations and establish boundaries for yourself and with others. I also connect well with individuals working in high tech that are transitioning in various areas of their lives. I am happy to consult with you and answer any questions you may have about the counseling process.

I meet with individuals, couples, and families with adult children seeking support with relationships or life transitions. I especially enjoy working with adult children of challenging parents, couples desiring to break co-dependent patterns, and new parents. I have helped people from a range of diverse backgrouds. I believe health and happiness flourish when people experience safety and connection in the present, feel their feelings, question their thoughts, take care of their bodies, continuously learn about their environment, and trust their power and/or a Higher Power to create a life that mirrors the Love that they are.

Many of the adults I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by stress, trauma, or difficult relationships. You may be functioning well on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, depression, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. My clients are often looking for deeper change, not just coping. I offer trauma-informed therapy integrating somatic awareness, attachment work, and experiential approaches. Sessions are available via tele-health, in-office, or through equine-assisted psychotherapy for those drawn to working with horses.

You may be someone who shows up, gets things done, and holds a lot together — yet still feels overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly worn down. Maybe you’ve learned to push through, stay productive, or take care of others, and you’re beginning to notice the cost of living this way. Many struggle with anxiety, emotional shutdown, or the lingering effects of past experiences, and are looking for more. I work with adults and teens who seem “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out inside. Many manage anxiety, stress, or past experiences and are looking for therapy that feels supportive, holistic, and deeply human.

Pain exists to make us pay attention. Trying desperately not to hurt, we compromise our integrity, our hearts and our sense of self, on some misguided mission to be invulnerable, to please, to care-take, or just to belong...Somewhere along the way, our vision of ourselves loses focus. Therapy can help create a new template for living. Research shows us that the brain can actually re-wire itself in the context of a secure relationship, developing new capacities for self-soothing, obtaining perspective, and being intimate. I believe that all suffering bears embedded gifts, if we look hard enough.

Hi, I'm Sarah. Maybe you feel stuck right now. Maybe things feel hard and you're just not sure what to do. Maybe you've noticed unresolved feelings, or big feelings, coming back again and again. Maybe you feel stuck in a relationship, a season in your life, or your identity. Maybe it feels like things might always feel this way. Clients that I work with are curious about their experiences. Whether it's noticing past patterns, current feelings, or experimenting with doing something different, the clients that I see often want to understand more about themselves, to show up for themselves in ways they hope to be.

Your emotions feel intense, overwhelming, or harder to manage than they used to. You may be grieving a loss, struggling in a relationship, or going through a change that has left you feeling stuck or unlike yourself. Somewhere along the way, you may have started believing you are “too much” or “not enough.” Grief is not only about death. It can come from heartbreak, trauma, identity shifts, relationships, or a diagnosis. As an NBCC board-certified counselor, I help clients work through grief, trauma, shame, and change while building self-trust, grounding, and a deeper sense of peace and purpose.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
