Hey there, I’m Sara -

As a queer, AuDHD therapist, I know that it's possible to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, perfectionism, shame, emotional dysregulation, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. As a deeply neurodiversity affirming therapist, I'm not here to "treat" your neurodivergence but I will support you in navigating the challenges that come with it.

My approach integrates lived experience, education, and extensive training in Somatic, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic therapy. I offer a warm and compassionate space that allows you to work towards breaking patterns of stuckness, healing past trauma, forming a deeper connection to yourself and your body, and evolving in ways that bring you more joy and ease.

In addition to the Somatic, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic approaches to therapy that I integrate in session, my work is grounded in social justice and intersectionality. I practice with a strong awareness of the inextricable link between systems of oppression and mental health and aim to approach all of my clients from a place of cultural humility.

I know that searching for a new therapist can be daunting - I've been there myself! My style is warm, playful, curious, creative, and radically genuine. If you resonate with anything about my practice, I’d love to hear from you about starting this journey together. If we're not the right fit, I'm happy to refer to you to someone who I think can help.
