About me
As a licensed therapist in Massachusetts, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics. I have extensive experience working with women's issues, communication difficulties, and relationship patterns.
My therapeutic practice focuses on understanding individual experiences with compassion and depth. I'm particularly skilled in supporting clients through midlife transitions, family conflicts, and personal growth journeys. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques to help clients develop stronger coping strategies, enhance self-understanding, and create meaningful life changes.
I believe in creating a collaborative, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop resilience. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, attachment issues, or seeking greater life purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

I’ve been working with Sarah for the past few months. She is a great listener, is very thoughtful in her feedback, and really shows how much she cares to help. She is the first therapist I’ve ever felt comfortable with, I highly recommend!

Started talking with Sarah over the summer because of depression and loneliness after losing family members to sickness. Sarah was very considerate and polite with all of our conversations and made me feel comfortable and relaxed.
