HOW ARE YOU DOING? I mean…really? 

Have you read every self-help book under the sun and still feel like something is missing?

Are you overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out?

Are you feeling lost in a big transition in your life? Going through a breakup, divorce, or sending your kids off to college? 

Do you tend to put other people's needs before your own and struggle to believe that you deserve to have your needs met?

Are you tired of the same patterns playing out in every single one of your relationships?

Are you yearning more for connection and intimacy in your relationships?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, therapy is for you!

Like going to the gym, dental check-ups, and doing yoga - here at Empower Therapy and Coaching, we see mental health as just another beautiful way you take care of yourself.  As Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, we help you face the messy parts of being a human together, head-on with methods grounded in evidence and scientific research.

As Carl Jung says, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.' Therapy is a space for us to get curious and make the unconscious conscious so that you can take ownership of your life and empower yourself to show up in the world as healthy, whole, and grounded.

At Empower Therapy and Coaching, we provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for your healing journey. We will work side by side to understand the root cause of your concerns and heal so that you can move forward with your life. 

Our therapists draw upon a number of therapeutic methods to deliver treatment and support for anxiety, trauma, depression, self love, sexuality, relationship challenges, entrepreneur stress and balance, perfectionism, self care, addictions, and more. 

We specialize in supporting mental health concerns for adults - both individually and in couples therapy. In therapy with us - you will look at the past, present, and future. We will help you to explore and and improve your psychological, emotional, spiritual, and relational health. We will help you to challenge critical self-talk and negative beliefs, and heal the trauma, stories, and anxiety that hold you back. 

Our wish is that you feel both free and held in our non-judgmental, safe, inclusive, and accepting space so that you can share and process things that you may have never shared before. 

Our therapists are licensed professionals with expertise in CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Psychodynamic Therapy, & Mindfulness. We offer various price points based on counselors from $150-$250 per session.

 
 
 
testimonial

“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

“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.”

— Britta D, 30, Laguna Beach, California
