Whether you are wanting to deepen your healing or you are newer to therapy, we will be in it together with curiosity. My practice is grounded in modalities to meet your needs.

Hello! I specialize in helping folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, and the effects of trauma. As someone who has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, I would especially like to support others who have chronic illnesses that may have greatly impacted their mental health and wellbeing. I use person-centered therapy (talk therapy), somatics (mind-body connection), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (cognitive/mindfulness) to help my clients heal. I take a collaborative, culturally-sensitive, and trauma-informed approach to counseling.

For 25 years I worked with over 16,000 suicidal patients on the mental health unit of St. Francis Hospital with my office partner, Psychiatrist Dr. Sunida Bintasan, From observing their common patterns, I created an educational program (for persons with issues of deep despair, hopelessness, depression, feeling "LOST" & "TRAPPED" & "STUCK", and often with recurrent suicidal thinking) called Contextual-Conceptual Therapy (CCT). Combining expressive arts techniques, education, and therapy using "maps, models, & metaphors", it helps clients discover the roots of their deep despair, feeling trapped & lost, and/or suicidal thinking.

I specialize in couples therapy and supporting women. In my work with women I help create space where you can freely give yourself permission to be where you are and offer love and kindness to yourself. I will support you to step into a place of deeper authenticity and strength. Old patterns of thinking or ways of viewing the world may no longer be serving you but you can choose to hold space for what serves and say no thank you to what does not. In my couples work I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I also offer Brainspotting for both individuals and couples.

Depth Therapy for Soul-Stretched, High-Achieving Women:
I’m Sarah, and I help high-achieving women like you reconnect with what matters most – not by pushing harder, but by going deeper. During our sessions I create space for meaning, calm, and clarity to return – even in the midst of your full, demanding life.
Together, we’ll untangle what’s been binding you and create a path that honors the woman you are, not just the roles you’ve been holding.

Therapy and Consultation for Mental Health and Medical Professionals...Are you feeling burned out, having trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, or feeling like you are not helping your patients or clients as much as you would like to? Maybe you are having a difficult time enjoying the work that you once felt passionate about? Perhaps you are finding that your own unresolved trauma is being triggered in your work and you are having a tough time being fully present. Counter-transference may also be showing up in ways that are not always helpful to those you serve, which can happen when we are experiencing compassion fatigue.

The pace at which our world is changing impacts us all in different ways. Over the years my practice has evolved to assist folks with living in a rapidly transforming social realm, taking into account how this accelerated environment requires significant and often skillful adaptation.
I enjoy working with people who want to develop what are often untapped capabilities, new ways of seeing and beholding life. Self-discovery or navel gazing as it was once pejoratively referred to, isn’t so much about simply prioritizing the self, but more about learning how to be more meaningfully connected to others and life itself.
