Often there are times when nothing really seems wrong in our lives, yet there is this sadness or anger, and we don't know where it comes from. Therapy can be beneficial in working on our known difficulties and the areas of ourselves that we need to become more familiar with. As a therapist, I aim to guide you toward healing, develop new skills and insights, and work collaboratively to produce the changes you want to see.

Due to licensing rules, I can only see New York clients! I am empathetic when working with diverse, adult populations facing situational & mental health challenges.

It's an honor to be able to help others navigate the curveballs life will throw!

You're slamming the alarm clock; it was another night of broken sleep. You're feeling drained and wishing for a moment of peace and happiness. You are constantly giving to others when you're running low and rarely have time for yourself. You feel pressures and stress piling up and weighing on your shoulders. You want to reach out for help but are scared of being vulnerable and a burden to others. At night when you lay down to sleep, the thoughts are racing and the worries return. All you want is understanding and support.

Relationships are blessings in our lives but often a source of deep pain. I see so many children, families, and couples distressed with life: unable to experience the blessings; and unable to find peace and satisfaction. In those situations, communication patterns are often marked with defensiveness, criticism, and sometimes even contempt. Sometimes families and couples have stopped talking altogether, unable to find the caring and understanding that once filled their relationships. My practice specializes in Couples/Family relationships and communication challenges - helping folks learn to listen, understand, and love.

Navigating ADHD, binge eating, LGBTQ+ issues, and relationship troubles often share a common thread: feeling out of touch with our desires and needs. ADHD can cause struggles with focus, completing tasks, or committing to projects. Binge eating offers fleeting relief, quickly replaced by guilt and shame. Being queer can impact self-esteem, and relationship issues add to the mix. We often long for consistent stability in our lives. Therapy can be transformative, offering the support needed to foster lasting growth and resilience. It provides a consistent space to reconnect with yourself and build a fulfilling life.

I believe that each person holds within themselves everything they need to heal and grow in the ways they would like. I see the therapist's role as being one in which provides an environment of safety and care where the client can explore themselves authentically. It is through this authentic exploration, that the therapist can help the client discover how patterns and ways of being are keeping the client stuck and resulting in suffering. By bringing into awareness these aspects, the client and therapist can then work collaboratively to release the pain and explore new ways of being.

Hi there, I'm Sarah. I help folks on working through anxiety in the many ways it manifests, within the many different situations in which it may arise. I specialize in helping folks who are having trouble managing perfectionism, social anxiety, and anxiety occurring in different environments or situations including adjusting to life changes and transitions, challenging relationships or communication issues, and navigating a new identity or sense of self. Often these challenges intersect with one another and can have an impact on self-esteem and depression. I also specialize in targeting this closely related intersection.

Do you feel like you are too much, and also not enough? You may have learned to compensate for your challenges by adopting various strategies like masking and people pleasing. You may think other people have similar struggles, but are just better at handling them. When you live that way for a long time it is difficult to know yourself, your needs, your strengths, and even your problems. My affirming approach supports clients learning to see and accept themselves for who they are unconditionally. I trust your internal wisdom and believe you deserve to live fully without exhaustion, shame, guilt, and resentment.

When I first became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 19 years ago, our understanding of how past traumas and attachment wounds affected us in the present, and how to effectively treat trauma and attachment wounds was very minimal. Since that time, extensive research, studies, theories and practices have broadened our knowledge of trauma's impact on the mind and body and expanded the variety of tools and resources available to support therapists. I can honestly say I have never loved my work as a trauma/attachment-focused therapist more than I do right now.

As a Therapist, I strive to create a warm, safe, nonjudgmental environment and empower individuals by using a holistic, strength-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral approach in addition to other evidence-based therapies to overcome life challenges.

Most of us struggle with sadness, anger, and anxiety at some point in our lives. I have come to understand that for these feelings to heal, you need to have healthy, safe, secure relationships. You achieve this by healing your unresolved wounds and learning how to have good relationships, especially with yourself. Doing this involves implementing boundaries,knowing your needs and wants, emotional & physical self-care, communication skills, and learning how to regulate your emotions. I too have taken this journey which has brought incredible healing to my life. Healing should not be done alone, we all need support and guidance!
