Introduction

You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you’ve lost touch with who you really are, therapy can help—and I’d be honored to support you. Hi, I’m Sarah, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping people move through pain, rediscover their inner strength, and create a life that feels more aligned and authentic. I got into this work because I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is to have someone truly in your corner—someone who sees the whole you, not just the parts that are struggling. I specialize in working with people facing trauma, chronic depression or anxiety, self-worth challenges, complex relationships, and identity exploration. I also work with highly sensitive individuals, couples, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach blends depth and practicality—I use evidence-based modalities including DBT, trauma-informed therapy, existential therapy and schema therapy to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go. Whether you're navigating something specific or simply feeling stuck, this is a space for real healing and meaningful change. You don’t have to do this alone. Reach out—let’s talk about what support could look like for you.
