Sara is not the kind of therapist who sits behind a desk, listening quietly while you talk endlessly about your childhood. She won’t just sit there behind a clipboard and say “mmhmm” or “I see.” In therapy with her, she is right there WITH you. It’s a conversation. She doesn’t pretend to be an authority and you don’t have to worry about her judging you. She is there as an ally, an illuminator - to help you move through a break-up, heal toxic relationship patterns, connect with and explore your sexuality, grow through transitions, process your relationship with your mom and/or whatever else needs some air-time and exploration.
Sara’s work is grounded in neuroscience and attachment research. She has studied trauma in depth from both Somatic (body) and Polyvagal (nervous system) perspectives, and offers EMDR for anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma.
She is a guide for people on the journey into themselves. In addition to individual therapy and couples counseling, Sara leads an 8-week, weekly, virtual workshop for women who want to get curious about their relationship with alcohol and be more intentional about how, when, and why they drink.
Sara’s offers a safe space, a cocoon for you to drop into the places that you may never have encountered before, to explore anything you want - without shame, or judgment. And she will challenge you and hold up the mirror so that you can see yourself.
