Sarah is very good at listening and helped me see my situation with clarity. It’s this clarity that makes decisions easier, even when the decision itself is hard. She’s enabled me to make changes in my life that I always kind of knew were needed, but found it easy to ignore or procrastinate on my own. She’s supportive, honest, and has a relatable, informal style . If you’re struggling to figure out how to move forward in a relationship or life in general, Sarah is a great person to speak with.

I am so grateful to have Sarah as my therapist. As a single mom of two young girls, life can be overwhelming, but Sarah’s patience and understanding are endless. She has an incredible way of guiding me through my past wounds while simultaneously offering me practical tools to improve my present and future. I leave each session feeling empowered, challenged, and excited to continue bettering myself, especially for my kids.
What truly stands out is Sarah’s ability to see and understand every facet of my life. She’s non-judgmental but direct, offering insights that are always thoughtful and to the point. Sessions with her never feel wasted—every moment is valuable. I appreciate her support and the profound impact she’s had on my journey. Sarah truly feels like a trusted friend, and I am so thankful for the positive changes she’s helping me make.
