LMFT, 7 years of experience
I'm a licensed psychotherapist that has worked in both private practice and intensive in-patient settings. Having first hand experience recovering from traumatic stress, I'm highly motivated and inspired by supporting my clients in finding relief from mental and emotional suffering. I offer a holistic evidence-based approach to therapy, providing a practical and grounded space free of judgment. The clients I work with report feeling greater relief, self-compassion, motivation, and insightful changes in thinking and feeling.
My primary goal in a first session is to establish a healing space with my clients built on empathy, understanding, and trust. I’m here to listen, engage, and work with you in your journey toward greater healing and self-discovery.
The ability to recognize that the client has within them the seeds to their own recovery and that they are the expert of their own life. It's my job to ask the right questions and listen carefully to what the client is desiring for themselves and help them get there.
I specialize in working with adults recovering from traumatic stress, and the associated symptoms of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and addiction.

Sasha helps me find my strengths, my inner balance, quite easily then he continues to build on that to enhance my ability to deal with my troubles.

The insights I am getting from Sasha have been helping me understand several "whys" I have been feeling. His approach is flexible based on what I reveal; he adds storytelling to illustrate my current dilemmas. Then there are times when somatic therapy comes into play, and if I need him to slow down, he corrects himself.

Sascha is a skilled listener. It is clear that he is right there with you. He has the ability to ask key questions that allow me to continue into deeper levels of whatever we may be exploring.
