We all face challenges in our lives…. Whether it be from the everyday stressors of school, work or relationships to the trauma of childhood events, abuse and/or neglect. Emotions such as anxiety, depression, shame and guilt often grip us and take over, leaving us feeling hopeless. Thoughts can become obsessive, sticky and ruminative leaving us feeling anxious and immobile. Reaching out for help is oftentimes one of the hardest first steps.

This time of life can be overwhelming, so full of change and new that sometimes it feels like too much. It can be confusing trying to figure out who you are, what you believe, how to be in relationships with others and even with yourself! Developing autonomy is exciting and it can also be scary to have to “adult” so much. You are taking responsibility for yourself, but probably still feel like you are ‘not quite’ an adult. I love to help people navigate this in-between time....

My theoretical approach is rooted in mindfulness-based cognitive...

Among all the uncertainties of life, making the choice to start therapy is yet another risky plunge into the unknown. Before you decide to give me a call I’d like to try and give you a sense of who I am and what it might be like for us to sit together. Although my title is doctor, my clients call me Sarah.
