On the outside, everything looks fine. I’m fine. It’s fine. Everythings fine.

But when you hit the pillow at night - there's loneliness, a deep dissatisfaction, anxiety, and stirring discontentment. On the surface, you've got it all together, but deep down - your life is being hijacked by your self-judgement, envy, anxiety, negative beliefs, and old wounds playing out in real time.
You’re stuck, spinning in place - struggling to break through your inertia, which leaves you feeling frustrated, angry, and maybe even hopeless.
And all of those nagging thoughts that seem to never go away, telling you that you're not good enough, that you're a failure, or that you're overwhelmed… they aren’t helping you.
Those thoughts can leave you feeling paralyzed and powerless - and even lead you to resorting to creative coping strategies like lashing-out, rebellion, acting-out, overspending, disordered eating etc. It’s exhausting.

one year from now, your life could look completely different.

What would it look like to feel free? To wake up feeling fresh and restored from a good night's sleep? To have healthier relationships where you get to be your authentic self? To experience the world as it is, and not through a filter of your pain?

That’s what we’re here for.

We help the deep feelers to find their way back to themselves, to overcome their fear and anxiety, and move past their past.

Therapy can help you find a way through the pain to the other side - a newer, more whole version of yourself.

Come sit with us

Our therapists create a soft landing place where you can begin to understand and process your emotions with support and without judgment.
With the right support, you can begin to untether yourself from the traumas, grief, anger, and intense inner turmoil that has held you hostage.
You will learn to turn towards yourself with self-compassion, and curiosity rather than judgment and shame. Through this process, you’ll finally find solution, self-trust, and a deep knowing of your truest nature.

We know that starting therapy is an act of bravery.

Our team is here to guide you on your journey. We are fellow travelers here to help you process your past pain and move toward total honesty, compassion, and self-acceptance. With our support, you can begin to break free from the cycle that's been holding you back and start living a life you love.
It takes courage to confront your fears, to stay open to uncertainty, and to be both vulnerable and assertive. When it’s hard to embody these qualities, we are here to hold what you can’t, until you can carry it on your own.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just take the next step. We're right there with you as you start your journey toward healing, growth, and self-compassion.

our approach to therapy

Humans aren’t meant for boxes, or formula-based therapy. Therapy is a deeply personal experience that deserves deep reverence. Research shows that the relationship you have with your therapist is the number one predictor of positive outcomes.

At Empower, we offer unwavering compassion, deep reflection, and honest connection - this is how we honor you.

Our therapists are trained in evidence-based practices such as Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) - just to name a few. We are a group of trauma-informed fellow travelers with our own lived experience.

We meet you where you are.

We believe that your symptoms are a roadmap, guiding you back to your wild and precious self. When we deviate too far from our essential nature, the inner fire that we are meant to nurture, we start experiencing symptoms of distress and disconnection.

It is our deepest honor to listen with you and hold the torch as you find your way back to yourself so that you can live the whole-hearted and fiery life that you were meant to live.

“I’ve been working with Sara for two years. When I met her, I was struggling in my marriage - feeling depressed, dry, and anxious to the point where I struggled going to work. I was faced with a few big decisions in my new marriage and I was struggling to hear my voice and know who and where I was.

Going to therapy was the best part of my week, where I could go and meet myself for the first time. I learned about myself as Sara gently challenged me to look at the parts of myself that I couldn’t see. Therapy with Sara gave me a safe place to be able to explore why I do what I do and have compassion for myself in the same way I have compassion for others. Through our work, I was able to leave a job, ask for what I needed in my marriage, and not just manage my anxiety, but figure out the root of why I was anxious in the first place.”

— Anonymous, Long Beach, California

“Sara has always been my go-to for relationship advice and perspective. Sara's compassionate energy and understanding of the human psyche and spirit make her an amazing therapist! Sara's ability to conceptualize the experience of love and love relationships pulls from a deep well of experience, intuition, and education in the field.

Expect to see results and feel more empowered as a couple and as individuals after seeking her assistance! I recently had a relationship conflict that had me stuck and after a 30-minute session, I was able to get unstuck and move closer to my boyfriend and experience deeper love and vulnerability.”

— Diana B, Woodside, California

“Sara has an amazingly creative and expressive approach to working with clients, and she is undaunted by the complex issues that clients may present. She has an almost mischievous playfulness that is completely refreshing to put her clients at ease and makes her very fun to work with. She will be a compassionate and caring partner for any client that she works with, and I highly recommend her as a choice for you to partner with.”

— Tanya D, Newport Beach, California

“I joined Sober-Curious because I am a grey-area drinker, have never identified with the label “alcoholic” and didn’t see myself in AA. After too many drunken arguments with my husband and feeling so tired of being hungover every weekend, I decided that I wanted to do some work around my drinking.

Sober-Curious has given me a community of support while I got to learn about why I drink when I feel triggered, and how alcohol has affected so many different areas of my life. The process of bringing awareness to my relationship with alcohol, supported by the love and openness from this group of women - has given me an incredible foundation for a healthier life, better relationships, and freedom that I haven’t felt since I was a little girl.”

— Sober-Curious Member

“Sara has provided so much space and permission for me to show up as me and only me. She has invited the shadowy, restless parts of my person come out of hiding and explore what it means to integrate the accepted and ridiculed chapters of my story. She shows up as a gentle force of a therapist and even more importantly shows up as human always.”

Sarah F, Costa Mesa, California

“Working with Sara is a magical and paradoxical experience that I cannot recommend highly enough. She has an ethereal presence combined with a groundedness that allows you to envision possibilities you’ve never considered, while simultaneously being incredibly down-to-earth and present in the here and now.

She radiates warmth and gentleness while being direct, firm, and real. Most importantly, her clients adore her and experience the growth and transformation they’ve wanted, but never been able to obtain. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone looking for serious growth and radical healing.”
