Sarah specializes in supporting trauma survivors, including survivors of sexual violence, emotional abuse or neglect, harmful relationships, and traumatic loss. She also provides affirming therapy for disabled and chronically ill folks, drawing from her passion for Disability Justice, as well as her own lived experience navigating chronic illness in ableist culture. Sarah uses self-compassion, sand therapy, and Internal Family Systems-informed "parts work," guiding you to build a loving relationship with yourself - even (especially) the parts of yourself that might feel troublesome or unworthy.
With a background as a bodyworker, Sarah utilizes mind-body approaches to help you ease chronic trauma responses in the nervous system. Attending to the body's natural responses to trauma while simultaneously fostering a stance of inner care and compassion toward yourself makes it possible to recover a felt sense of comfort and empowerment in your own skin.
Once painful symptoms feel less overwhelming, Sarah draws from existential therapy to accompany you in navigating that inner sense of freedom to make your own choices. She approaches life's big questions with a spirit of humility and helps you tune inward with new tools to unfold your own unique path forward.
