A real person, sitting across from you.
I'm Sarah. Therapist by training, listener by temperament. Here's a little about how I got here and how I think about the work.
— My office, late afternoon — when the light gets long.
Why I do this work
"The work of therapy isn't to fix you. It's to make space for the parts of you that have been waiting to be heard."
I became a therapist because I believe in the slow, unglamorous power of being deeply listened to. After ten years in clinical work — first in community mental health, then in private practice — I've come to trust that most of us already know what we need. We just need a room, a witness, and time to find it.
My training is in relational and psychodynamic therapy, woven through with somatic and parts-based work when it serves you. In practice, this means we'll move between insight and feeling, between the present moment and the patterns you've been carrying since long before now.
I work especially well with people who are doing well on paper but quietly aren't — the high-achievers, the caretakers, the ones who've learned to be fine. If that sounds familiar, you're in good company.
The paper version of me.
For when that part matters — and I understand if it does.
