Hi, I'm Sara. I love working with young adults who may be experiencing tough or stressful times. College is so much fun but can also be a time of many transitions-- leaving home, making new friends, living independently, managing school -- and all the organization and planning that comes with it-- and a new social life. This can be stressful and sometimes we need support during these types of transitions or life experiences. My support includes a safe space of connection, compassion, and e...
I have been influenced by many counseling theories but gravitate most strongly to those emphasizing a collaborative relationship where the client is viewed as the expert on their own life. I believe that human beings are always doing their best given the tools that they possess. I also believe that our society differentially imparts barriers to certain groups and that often these obstacles, rather than personal failure, stand in the way of our goals. Most importantly, I believe that the therapy ...

I am a naturally intuitive and empathetic person, so part of who I am as a therapist is genuinely enjoying listening to people talk about their lives.
