Enlightenment Counseling
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. We all deserve to have a meaningful, fulfilling life. I value unplugging and exploring your strengths, challenges, and values. I emphasize the mind-body connection and often incorporate mindfulness practices into sessions. Psychodynamic interventions help uncover unconscious patterns, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a space to reflect, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll deepen self-understanding, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
I help adults explore anxiety, self-worth, identity, relationships, trauma, depression, life transitions, ADHD, and more by using an integrative, insight-oriented approach. Drawing from Existential, Mindfulness, CBT, Jungian, and Psychodynamic therapies, I support clients in healing past wounds, deepening self-understanding, and living more authentically.
In therapy, we’ll explore not only your current struggles but also deeper roots—like early experiences, internalized beliefs, and unconscious patterns. If you face self-criticism, perfectionism, or feeling “not good enough,” we’ll work together to build self-understanding, compassion, and integration of all parts of yourself.

Sarah is a fantastic therapist who listens to me, validates me, and provides alternate ways of thinking that have improved my quality of life.
MBVerified patient
I’ve had a really positive experience with Sarah. From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable and understood. She’s incredibly insightful, and her observations often help things click in a way that feels natural and supportive. I always feel heard in our sessions, and I’ve gained a better understanding of myself over time. I’m very grateful for their approach and would recommend them to others seeking thoughtful and compassionate care.
MWVerified patient
Sarah is amazing. I always feel heard and respected, and her insights helped me better understand myself and my patterns. The sessions were well-guided and genuinely helpful, and I appreciated her calm, compassionate approach. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled therapist.
CFVerified patient
She listens carefully and creates a space where I feel truly safe to talk openly. There is no judgment at all, which makes it much easier to be honest and vulnerable. She helped me understand my situation clearly and guided me toward resolving the issues I was struggling with. I’m very grateful for her support and highly recommend her.
SYVerified patient
Sarah is a thoughtful and engaging therapist who cares deeply about understanding her clients and meeting them where they are. With a practice rooted deeply in her love for Buddhist philosophy, Sarah encourages her clients to find what gives them purpose and joy and to do those things without the pressure of perfection. I started therapy wanting someone to complain to, but what I got was so much better. Sarah makes me feel adequate as I am while still inspiring me to be a better person. With Sarah I have been learning about how to face my emotional avoidance, to forgive myself for my mistakes, to work with not against my ADHD, how to lead with love not fear/passion not anxiety, and how to set boundaries with the people I love. Sarah is a phenomenal therapist and I cannot recommend her enough.
LCVerified patient
Sarah is very insightful and has useful advice that is worth hearing. She is patient too; I highly recommend her, unless you’d prefer to pass up a great therapist. The choice is yours.
NRVerified patient
Sarah is a great therapist. She helped me to understand what was going on inside and make some adjustments in my life in order to alleviate my anxiety and depression. I think she is quite capable of tailoring her approach to the unique individual.
JEVerified patient
I’ve had Sarah as a the therapist with Sarah for close to 3 years now and have nothing but great things to say! The multitude of effective methods for outward thinking is amazing from podcasts to books to read she’s been amazing in helping me discover more about myself! :)
CPVerified patient
Sarah is awesome! I’ve been seeing her for about a year now and every session she’s patient, thoughtful, and always has my best interest in mind. She’s helped me through so much already and open my eyes to a lot of things but I would not have been able to see without her. I’m so appreciative of her and highly recommend.
MSVerified patient
I have been going to Sarah for over a year and it has been wonderful! She is the best therapist you can ask for. She knows exactly what to say and what to do in every situation. I cannot tell you how many times she has helped me. She is a great listener and her advice never fails. What’s great about her is that she always gives you opinions/wisdom from another perspective that you would have never thought of. The recommendations and activities she gives to you is top notch. She is the ideal therapist and yet she still tries to perfect her craft. 1000% recommend her to anybody!!
ZMVerified patient
Sarah has been a major positive in my life since starting to see her over 1.5 years ago. She has helped me overcome challenges in my life and helped me get back to center. I would highly recommend seeing her if you are looking for a great therapist.
WGVerified patient
I really enjoy my therapy sessions with Sarah! She is very approachable and I felt comfortable sharing from the beginning.
I especially like that Sarah helps me reframe my thinking by giving me a few “assignments” or even books to read.
I would highly recommend Sarah as a therapist!
JAVerified patient
Sarah is an amazing therapist and has helped me changed my life and deal with issues that I have never dealt with before. She is kind and really takes the time to invest in you. My life has changed in so many ways and I owe it in part to Sarah. You won’t be sorry by having her as your therapist.
When I first started seeing Sarah I didn’t know how to communicate, feel emotions or even deal with anxiety. With her help I learned tools that help me in my everyday life and also when challenging issues creep up on you.
I can’t ask for a better person to be my therapist.
BGVerified patient
I felt comfortable with Dr. Pals from the moment we started talking. She's a great listener and her approach to self improvement is very much in line with how I think. I'm excited to see how things progress as I continue to on this journey to improve my mental health.
