Written on Oct 02, 2024 after therapy with Sara for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fati

Been with Sara for over a year now. I've had my fair share of ups and downs. And for the greater part of it I have received great advice, or just someone to listen to me during those times. Would not trade her at all.

Sara is an exceptional therapist, she is knowledgeable, helpful, considerate, compassionate, and I cannot say enough kind things. Plus she is excellent about encouraging you to “dig deeper” to identify underlying issues and provides excellent tools to enable you to cope, move forward and use in the future. I cannot recommend her more highly.
