Hello. My name is Sarah. Do you ever feel like it's just not enough? The "it" could be any number of things. Your job, your relationships, your daily routines, etc.. Is it hard to find the good during the bad? I can help. Together, we can find what is holding you back and we can find the best way to navigate back to happiness.

You've already taken a brave step. Seeking therapy means you have a desire to engage in life in a different way. Across their diverse backgrounds, my clients have all decided they want something more, and I have the privilege of watching them get there. By establishing a safe space for expression and exploration, I'll join you as you tolerate and, when ready, lean into uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and experiences. I empower clients by supporting them as they integrate techniques associated with overcoming challenges, increasing resilience and joy, building courage to challenge fears, and living more wholeheartedly.

You’re a dreamer. You have big plans for yourself. You are multi-passionate and curious. You are also anxious. You feel like what makes you unique also makes you lonely. You tend to intellectualize and brush off the negative and traumatic parts of your past because those feelings are not “productive”. But there is a little part of you that knows in order to accomplish the life you are envisioning, you might need to take a look at how parts of your past and current patterns are blocking you. Hey- I have been there. I still find myself there from time to time. The good news is you can experience relief and clarity.

In 1993 I became a licensed Professional Counselor. I have since been associated with a small group of like-minded therapists creating a people-friendly environment. My office is like a "living area" for private conversations. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families who seek to move through seemingly intimidating, hopelessly discouraging or simply perplexing life stages. Common themes - job loss, rejection, betrayal of trust, letting go, shame, guilt and self-acceptance - even old emotional scars limiting part of one's personality are all compelling challenges. I will face them with you.

These are challenging times. If you're tired of feeling stressed out, anxious, or panicky as a way of life...if you're not getting the joy you want from life and feeling more unhappy or feeling like you're not enough...if you're acting out on your frustrations instead of getting clarity, then I'm really glad you're reaching out. I am an inclusive progressive therapist & an ally. I want therapy to be a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to work individually or within your couple relationship. I'm going to listen, help you explore, and also teach you new things to help you. Let's build a future that contains more of what you want!

Life can seem overwhelming at times which can make it difficult to believe that happiness is possible or that goals are unattainable. It can be difficult to understand why there seems to be a constant feeling of sadness and hopelessness and not knowing where it is coming from or what is triggering the feelings. It is okay not to be okay but it is not okay to remain stuck there. We are all unique and valuable and deserve respect and kindness. I also believe that it is important for our feelings to be heard and validated.

In an atmosphere of acceptance, I will establish and maintain a trusting relationship to promote your growth and self-direction. I use brief therapy techniques to assist clients with their anxiety, stress, depression, sexual abuse, grief and relationship conflicts.

No one should have to face their struggles alone, and I am here to support you on the journey toward healing. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal, though finding the way on your own can be challenging. Hope arises from feeling supported and having someone walk beside you through your difficulties. I specialize in creative therapies like EMDR, play therapy, sensorimotor art therapy, somatic therapy and sand therapy for children (ages 4-11) and adults who are struggling with relationships, life transitions, grief, anxiety and trauma.

I love working with couples, specifically working with them to understand their relationship dynamics and helping the individuals in a couple to better understand themselves and relate to each other more lovingly, respectfully and graciously. I want to support you and walk with you to create a thriving relationship. I have experience working with couples for premarital counseling, communication problems, infidelity, parenting and blended family issues. I also work with adults facing life or career transitions or experiencing anxiety.

If you're looking for a therapist who understands LGBTQ issues, I can help. As someone who is part of the community, I personally understand the issues that are specific to gay and lesbian couples and individuals. I also specialize in helping those who are part of the transgender and gender variant community. I help people enhance their relationships, find greater comfort in their lives, and feel comfortable in who they are. Grief, depression, addictions, coping with coming out, and relationship problems don't have to hold you back from the life you want to live. Contact me today.
