Written on Apr 10, 2024 after therapy with Sarah for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self esteem, career difficulties, coaching, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Sarah is very sensitive to how I am feeling in a session. She pushes me when I need to be pushed and listens when I need her to listen. Her feedback is invaluable. She can handle a lot of chaotic thoughts, keep them in consideration while providing a sense of positive direction. I truly value my time with her.

Sarah is engaged, thoughtful and I feel she genuinely cares about me and supporting my work and successes. I would recommend her to everyone!

Sarah is a very wise and skilled clinician. She has a friendly, warm demeanor and is nonjudgmental and supportive. She has been the extra support I have needed during times of stress and during times of calm to focus on myself and my goals for personal growth.

Sarah provides me excellent perspective. She challenges my views and consistently helps me navigate challenges. She provides deep insight into things I've glossed over. On top of that she is friendly and a true professional. 10/10

First and foremost Sarah is extremely professional, always shows up to meetings on time, and will never rush you off a call so you always feel heard. I have no doubts about Sarah's expertise and would highly recommend anyone to Sarah who is looking to better themselves and is looking for the tools to do so!
