therapy services in-person & online.
I help those who are struggling with work-life balance, ancestral trauma, marginalization, anxiety, stress, relationship wounds/attachment trauma, self-esteem, traumatic experiences, life transitions; or if you’re stuck in an old pattern you’d like to change and get clear on your purpose.
Through open-minded presence, I provide a space where you can be deeply listened to.
HOLISTIC Approach
I incorporate my creativity and curious spirit in working with clients. I work with the client to reconnect body, mind, and spirit. This holistic approach, combined with your goals for therapy, creates a therapeutic experience that is personal and unique to you.
How Sarah Works
I have training in various types of therapy and wellness modalities, which includes Somatic Experiencing®, also known as SE. SE helps calm the nervous system and release trauma held in the body, helping you feel less anxious, less stressed, and more present. My therapeutic style makes a lasting impact in several important regards. My holistic approach empowers clients with their inner resources and knowledge to gain greater access to somatic awareness in effect to become their own wellness provider. I understand that we heal in relationships, culture, and community.
Benefits gained when working with Sarah
When you work with me your benefits don’t stop with the end of your therapy session.
The embodied change you experience from a session becomes your own and stays with you for as long as you apply daily somatic awareness practice outside of the therapy office.
You will take home critical elements of what you learn with you so that you continually reinforce and strengthen personal gains through daily practice outside of the therapy office.
