The value of relationships, compassion, and acceptance will begin the transformation to understanding who you are and the goals you want to achieve.
Hello, I’m Sarah. Life’s transitions can be categorized in many ways, but they can be challenging to navigate when they cause us pain, anxiety, or feelings of being stuck. One’s personal experience should never be compared to another, as it is unique, but there is hope. You deserve a safe space for mindfulness and restoration, no matter your struggle. Facing life’s challenges, difficult emotions, and an uncertain future is not a journey meant to be taken alone. With your strengths and resiliency, you can begin to build your sense of self. And through it all, I will be your supporter and advocate.

Unconditional acceptance and a commitment to your life satisfaction.
Life can be challenging. Waking up dreading the day ahead, feeling disconnected from everyday joys, cringing as you begin your workday, unable to fix or face problems with what worked before, not being fully present in your own life, hiding your pain behind a smiling face and robotically wash-rinse-repeating your day, living more inside your head and your disappointments than in your purpose, or dragging yourself from one moment to the next. So many questions and challenges with no answers in sight. You want to feel better, and I want to help.

I believe that the greatest form of self care is taking steps towards building self awareness through self inquiry and self acceptance. Self awareness allows us to build an integrated relationship with ourselves by taking into account body, mind, and spirit. As we integrate all parts of our being and cultivate a healthier relationship with ourselves we become empowered. As a result, we begin to cultivate healthy relationships with others and in all areas of our lives (finances, career, health, life purpose, and spirituality). My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively with you on your therapeutic journey.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
