I can imagine it must be difficult to work with people like this - people are so layered and it takes so much time to get to know what has brought someone to better help. I have been working with Sarah for a short few weeks - she has a great way of listening for understanding, asking the right questions and a patience that seems to know there is much to uncover.

Sarah’s style of therapy worked very well for me, it helped me work through some issues that I had that were the underlying cause for depression.
Sarah is very direct and honest, usually on the spot, while some do not like this approach it works well for me.

Sarah is compassionate, kind, and patient. She has a great way of leading me to new ways of thinking about certain circumstances as they come. We share the same values so its easy to talk to her and I never feel judged. I can honestly say I'm turning into a better version of myself because of the work we have done together as a team!
