I’ve been seeing Sarah for several years and have only had positive experiences with her. I’m thankful for every session.

NBVerified patient

Sarah is patient, a great listener, and challenges gently. She’s been a great help in processing.

PKVerified patient

Sarah is an amazing clinician - direct and pragmatic, you will always leave with a plan to feel better, a new perspective and/or a deeper understanding of yourself.

MFVerified patient

Sarah has a warm and genuine presence that immediately puts me at ease, but she’s also direct in a way that makes me feel empowered and in control of my own growth. Her thoughtful guidance has helped me navigate challenges with more clarity and confidence, and I always leave our sessions feeling supported and heard.

SLVerified patient

Sarah is an incredible couples therapist. She leads and guides the conversation with understanding and empathy, so everyone feels heard and acknowledged during her sessions. She has provided my wife and I with good habits and actions that we take to improve and grow our marriage on our own and knows when to wind down/up the session frequency. She is also available in a pinch, and has provided an avenue for us to communicate when we get stuck. We couldn't recommend her more!

TMVerified patient

I highly recommend Sarah! From my first session, they created a warm, supportive environment that made it easy to open up. Their compassionate approach and insightful guidance helped me navigate my challenges and develop effective coping strategies. Thanks to Sarah, I've gained clarity and confidence in my life. Truly a life-changing experience!

NSVerified patient

Sarah saved our marriage. A lot of misunderstanding had been built over the years between my spouse and I. Sarah dissected the problem strategically, listening patiently and giving us very practical advise. She also gave specific tasks that we could do to work on our relationship. Highly recommended!

DSVerified patient

Sarah was a steady, supportive presence while I worked through some complex family issues. She helped me untangle years of tension, set healthy boundaries, and find clarity in really emotional situations. I felt truly heard and understood, and her guidance made a difficult time much more manageable. I’m so grateful for her.

SRVerified patient

Sarah is always so helpful in our visits and is flexible in scheduling when needed. I feel that I’ve grown during my time with her but have not “outgrown” her as she’s always pushing me to think differently and address the issues the things that are bothering me.

JRVerified patient

Sarah is an incredible therapist. I came to her during a rough patch in my relationship, and her guidance was exactly what I needed. She truly understands the complexities of LGBTQ relationships and made me feel completely safe and understood—no explanations needed. Her empathy, insight, and support helped me navigate a tough time with clarity and confidence. I’m so grateful for her.

JLVerified patient

I came to therapy to get support with my anxiety. Sarah was so helpful. She really helped me talk through things I haven’t felt comfortable sharing to prior therapists. Sarah, thank you!

ETVerified patient

Working with Sarah has been truly transformative for my relationship. She created a safe, supportive space where my partner and I could explore our communication patterns and reconnect on a deeper level. Through thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and compassionate insight, Sarah helped us understand each other in ways we hadn't before. I’m incredibly grateful for the clarity and connection we’ve gained through this process. Highly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship.

NAVerified patient

We came to Sarah as a polycule going through a really difficult time—there were trust issues, miscommunications, and a growing sense of disconnect. From the first session, she created a space that felt safe, nonjudgmental, and deeply affirming of our relationship. Sarah helped us feel heard and understood while also guiding us to see the bigger patterns at play. She asked the right questions, offered tools we could use between sessions, and helped us rebuild a foundation of trust—not just between individuals, but within our entire dynamic. What stood out most was her deep knowledge of polyamory, consent, and relational ethics. We never had to explain or defend our identity; instead, we could focus on healing. We’ve come away from therapy with not only deeper insight into ourselves and each other, but with a renewed sense of connection. We’re grateful and would highly recommend her to any polycule or non-monogamous folks looking for compassionate, informed, and effective support.

TWVerified patient

Things felt a little messy in my relationship because I've been struggling with kink-related boundaries. I was nervous going in to my session, but Sarah made me feel really comfortable and not judged at all, which made everything so much easier to talk about. We worked on figuring out what my boundaries are, how to trust myself more, and how to speak up without feeling guilty or awkward. I'm also learning how my patterns effect how I communicate and show up in other areas of my life. I’m excited to continue my sessions and do the work.

SGVerified patient

Working with Sarah has been an incredibly healing and empowering experience. From the very first session, she made me feel completely seen, heard, and supported. She creates a space that feels safe, compassionate, and free of judgment—a place where it’s okay to show up exactly as you are. Sarah has a way of gently guiding conversations while helping you uncover your own strength and insight. She’s thoughtful, empathetic, and deeply skilled at what she does. Whether I’ve needed help working through anxiety, navigating relationships, or making sense of big emotions, she has met me with unwavering presence and care. I’ve grown so much during my time with her, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will support you with both heart and expertise, Sarah is the therapist to see.

VGVerified patient

Sarah is an incredible therapist. She is extremely attentive and patient, and truly helped me through a very hard period in my life. I worked with her in a family therapy setting with my brother, and she completely transformed the way we communicate. Highly recommend her to any couples, families, or individuals seeking a new therapist :)

JWVerified patient

I think I got lucky because Sarah was my first ever therapist and I have been with her for almost 4 years. The most important thing is that she allowed me to feel comfortable and open up at my own pace. Shes a great listener and is able to empathize. Knows whenever I need advise vs just someone to listen to. Truly grateful for her
