I'm Sarah Olson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have the privilege of walking with people during difficult moments in their lives. I believe there is nothing that life can hand you that cannot make you a better person once you do the work and get to the other side of it. I want to discover this with you. Coming to me as a therapist would feel like exploring your honest feelings and experiences with a non-judgmental friend that can really hear you. I want to gain your trust so we can talk about what truly is stopping you from being your best self.

My passion for therapy emerged working to help clients understand their uniqueness and how their brain is gifted - the neurotypical and neurodivergent alike. That passion only grew as I expanded my knowledge and discovered the amazing tools one can use to help clients recover from anxiety, depression and the struggles that everyone faces in the day to day and life transitions.
