Hi! I'm Sara, a sex and relationship therapist in the Philadelphia area. I offer individual, relationship, and sex therapy that helps clients strengthen their relationships with their loved ones and themselves. I specialize in addressing anxiety related to insecure attachment and its impact on relational conflict and self-worth. Working with clients to foster self-love and build emotional safety in their relationships is an important part of this process. As an LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, poly-friendly, and kink aware therapist, I welcome and provide a safe space for all identities and relationship styles.
I take a collaborative approach to therapy that prioritizes compassion, humor, and authenticity. Together, we will explore the ways that your past experiences continue to impact you and your relationships. The insight garnered from this process paves the way for us to curate a treatment plan to address your current struggles and goals.
Every individual and relationship is unique and deserves therapy that caters to their specific needs. I offer consultations for any questions you may have about me and my process. If you are a couple looking to dip your toes into therapy, I also offer a discounted 3-session workshop. I look forward to meeting you!

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, sexual issues, or relationship issues related to communication, conflict, and insecure attachment. After my initial session with clients, I conduct a childhood history interview through an attachment oriented lens to provide perspective on their current issues. Then we apply this knowledge to changing harmful cognitive and behavioral patterns.

My therapy style is integrative in that I choose which models to incorporate based on my clients' needs. I approach all client issues through an attachment-based lens to gain a deeper understanding of their automatic responses to anxiety-provoking stimuli. This can be helpful for providing insight into relational conflict and issues related to abandonment fears, trust, codependency, and shame.
