This work may include traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), working with family members, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, Reiki healing, collaborating with other professionals to support clients in their care - and more.

Sarah's current focus is supporting expecting and new parents in the perinatal period of their parenthood journeys. She is also available to continue to support older adolescents and young adults as this has been a population Sarah has experience with and has enjoyed working with in the past.

Message to clients

I am confident that you will feel seen, heard and validated in our work together. Whatever you are feeling and experiencing is real and can be shared without judgement. I am always in awe of the strength and bravery that my clients show in their lives and in what they bring to our work. Being vulnerable means taking a risk - though it can also bring rewards you never thought possible! I form trusting, supportive connections with my clients, and from there amazing growth can take place.

I do hold my clients accountable and may assign "homework" between sessions to put the ideas and strategies into practice. I will give you my all during our sessions and I expect the same so we can truly see change happen! I know you can feel better and I would be honored to help you on that journey.
