Sarah is first therapist I’ve had that has made me feel heard and seen. She gives me great advice to manage crisis situations and reaches out consistently to check on me between sessions. I can’t say enough good things about her

Sarah has an amazing balance of listening and also providing beneficial feedback. I talk ALOT and she has been great about hearing but also responding with spot on advice. She is very professional but also personal in her response and attention. I look forward to my next session! (which is not what I initially expected before meeting with Sarah)

I have really liked working with Sarah so far. I am brand new to therapy, and I am only a few sessions in, so we're still getting to know each other and I'm still developing an understanding of what to expect through this process and what my own needs for a therapist may be, but I have nothing but positive things to say about Sarah. She has been very understanding and I feel I can be very open with her. I'm looking forward to each session.

I have therapists in the past that I either never feel very comfortable talking to or it takes a while to get to that point. Not with Sarah! She has a personality that is really easy for you to feel comfortable and she is so easy to talk to. She even sends messages between sessions which lets me know that she actually cares about helping me. I highly recommend Sarah!
