I have been seeing Sarah for a bit now. And I can't imagine being able to handle and give perspective to the issues I needed to address without her help. She is candid, compassionate and understanding. She has equipped me with so many tools that have given my life clarity and given me better ways to handle things as they happen. I have been able to find me again...to give myself grace....and I like what I see. Thank you doesn't even begin to express how I feel about working with Sarah.

Sarah is a wonderful listener who gives relevant feedback that isn’t always “easy” to hear but necessary and valid. She is thoughtful and considerate and offers insight in a non-judgmental, but firm way. It’s only been 6 weeks but my coping skills and internal dialogue have already been affected in a positive way.

I only met with Sarah once, but she helped me get the resources I need for a more intensive therapy as I came to better help admist a mental health crisis episode. Sarah showed me compassion and empathy while giving me direct advice and hard truths. I left feeling supported and I hope I can go back to her after my intensive treatment is complete.

Life. Changed. I know that sounds dramatic, but I’ve had a complete turn around since beginning my sessions with Sarah! She is super patient, realistic and funny! I’ve gotten a new job, began going out and socializing and regularly working on my physical health. All things that were IMPOSSIBLE before because of debilitating anxiety. Thank you, Sarah!!!

I instantly felt connected and comfortable with Sarah, she feels like an old friend. She gives me a sense of security and anonymity, I know I can share anything with her. Not only does she listen and respond but she HEARS me. Like a breath of fresh air she really helps put things in a different light. What makes her better than an old friend is that I get to guilt-free trauma dump for nearly and hour every week in our judgement free zone! 5 stars! 100% would recommend!

Sarah is amazing. We worked together for roughly 7 months and I felt confident to leave therapy ( my finances didn't allow me to keep doing therapy forever). After I left therapy with my "tool box" of things to do when I was stressed or upset in anyway I had major health issues happen a month or 2 later. Things my tool box didn't prepare me for. So I reached out to Sarah when I was in crisis, she helped me get out of my crisis mode quickly and back on track. Now I continue to see her on a once a month basis to check in. Financially I can swing it, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing that I have that "check in". Cannot recommend her enough for anyone who struggles with trauma, substance abuse, being a mom of any kind. She hears what I don't say, and asks the questions that I didn't dare ask myself. The amount of growth I have made would not have been possible without Sarah's guidance.
