I don't believe in "TMI" when it comes to therapy! So whether you view a problem in your life as big or small, no topic is off-limits. My goal is to ensure you feel comfortable expressing yourself. If not with me then I am happy to offer a referral to help you find the right therapist for you.

When thinking about the clients I most enjoy working with I imagine the people who are willing to put in the work, even when it can be challenging. They want to know more about themselves, their experience and how to be the best version of themselves. Willing to explore how their experiences and relationships have shaped them over the years as well as how to heal from some of them as well. It can be difficult at times to determine exact goals prior to coming into therapy so we can figure those out together.

Our lives can be chaotic and we all need support to make sense of the chaos. Challenges in life can be opportunities for growth, and that growth is tough work to do alone. Whether that chaos manifests itself in a battle with depression or anxiety, challenges in a relationship, or navigating life following a transition, loss, or diagnoses, hope and healing are possible.

(As a couple or individual) - Experiencing a traumatic event, anxiety/ past pain can send you into a panic, tearful, angry, shut down. Feeling disconnected from yourself or from your partner.

What if it happens again? Feeling distrustful that anyone will be there for you either because you have been let down by someone before (maybe your partner) or have experienced something painful/traumatic & fear it will happen again. Feeling lonely and ignored.

You’re an employee, homemaker, sibling, son/daughter, partner. You’re physically and mentally exhausted from carrying the load by yourself. You resent yourself for your inability to set boundaries and say “no” to others, and you often resent others for not being able to meet your needs. The expectations of yourself are higher than they would ever be for anyone else. In the quiet moments of the day, when you may allow yourself a break from your to-do list, you’re anxious, irritated, and sad. You may struggle with autoimmune issues, digestive issues, chronic health conditions due to the weight of your world.

My name is Sarah, and my approach with people is to assist them in shifting away from a negative, self-blaming or disempowered narrative to a true understanding of their own power and mastery over their story. As a therapist, I am honored and privileged to bear witness to your stories. As you process and experience the healing power of feeling, you will have power and mastery over your stories, rather than feeling as though your stories or your experiences have power over you. As Dr. Maya Angelou states, sharing our stories, and having someone to bear witness and process those stories with us, can be immensely healing.

As a daughter of immigrants, I am familiar with the struggles of feeling like an outsider, facing ongoing acculturation, as well as the stress and anxiety that comes with resettlement and starting over. I strive to normalize therapy and make it accessible to anyone struggling with their cultural or personal identity, including the immigrant community and anyone seeking therapy for the first time. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable with someone new is often one of the most challenging aspects of starting therapy. There is a stigma associated with seeking professional help for mental health in many communities.

I believe it is a difficult decision to reach out for support from another person. In so doing, therapy not only needs to be a gentle guidance towards a happier lifestyle, but it also needs to incorporate challenges. In working with individuals, couples and families, I enjoy creating a balance of both of these concepts. Shifting our perceptions and changing our behaviors is not a simple process for anyone. I work with parents, teenagers and even our littlest people during stressful life situations including depression, anxiety, anger management, marital issues, women's issues, and processing traumatic events.
