(she/her)
I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and relationship difficulties. Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, insightful, and highly self-aware, yet still find themselves struggling with persistent anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Common themes include people-pleasing, perfectionism, codependency, difficulty setting boundaries, and challenges rooted in family or relational dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and relational approaches, tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals. I deeply believe therapy can be the bridge to deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and meaningful lasting change. I am here to create a safe, supportive space for you to find growth and healing. I will meet you where you are at, remain open and curious about your experiences, and partner with you to identify and work towards your goals. I believe in the healing power of showing up authentically, creating a trusting relationship with you, and even sharing some laughs along the way.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and begin building a sense of comfort and trust. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, what feels most important to you right now, and what you hope to get out of the process. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as we begin this work together.
I feel my greatest strength as a clinician is helping you feel safe being your authentic self - the good, the bad, and everything in between - so that we can do the hard work together without fear of judgement or rejection. My past experience helping individuals dealing with addiction and mental illness to navigate their lowest moments and rebuild their lives has given me tremendous respect for the resilience that all people have, wherever they are starting on this journey.
I work best with young adult and adult clients who are motivated for self-exploration and meaningful change. Many of the clients I work with are insightful and emotionally aware, but feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or difficult relationship dynamics. I especially enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their sense of self, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Other specialties
I identify as
Eclectic
Eclectic therapy allow us to draw tools from many different therapeutic approaches to meet and adapt to clients' specific needs. This may span CBT, Mindfulness-Based approaches, Person-Centered care, Trauma-Informed care, Applied Polyvagal Theory, DBT, and ACT.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to help gain awareness of and change the unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to suffering.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy is based in practices of meditation, non-judgemental awareness, breathwork, and engaging the observer-self to help create feelings of centeredness from which clients can better understand their own experiences, and ultimately choose how to interpret and respond to those understandings.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is based on approaching client needs following the principles of safety, trustworthiness and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment and choice, and humility. Trauma-informed care recognizes the wide-ranging impacts that trauma can have on individuals, and focusing on healing with this in mind.

Sarah is such a kind and warm soul. I never thought I would get so much out of therapy. She actually cares about me, in a time where I really need that. She's wonderful.

She was easy to talk with; I look forward to our next meeting as she seems like an amazing and wonderful person who truly cares about the individual she's helping. "One day at a time."
