“Sara was truly amazing. We've had two sessions so far, and after a long stint without a therapist--and of feeling on the fence about getting back into it or finding the match--she made me feel at ease, open, and like I was in the right place at the right time! Highly recommend :)”

Sara has really helped me. She is easy to talk to, flexible, and considerate. She offers great tools to help with self reflection and anxiety.
Sara is thoughtful, takes the time to really get to know you and really knows her stuff about mental health. Couldn’t recommend someone more.
I’ve been working with Sara for some time now. She’s truly the best. She’s professional, easy to talk to, relatable and very insightful. She’s really helped me work through some tough spots. If you are seeking a therapist, I recommend Sara!
I was new to therapy and Sara made me feel so comfortable. She informed me of all I needed to know about what to expect and got me excited about the process.
It is very hard to find a good therapist and a lot of times it takes meeting multiple therapists until you find the right fit. After speaking with Sara I immediately felt at ease and that she was a great match for my needs. I look forward to continually speaking with Sara - she truly has already made such a positive impact.
Sara has been phenomenal & a wonderful resource through various changes in my life. She is easy to speak with - you feel a weight lifted after a session with Sara. I am so grateful to Sara for all she has done to help me feel more confident to handle anything life throws my way.
The best experience. Well taken care of!
Sara, is amazing! She quickly gained my trust and made me feel like I was not being judged when talking about my life. She also helped me process my feels and make sense of them. She’s authentic, consistent and helpful.
Sara is an amazing counselor and person. She has a great balance of a person centered practice and making hard conversations easy . If you're looking for a counselor who works with you, effectively utilizes treatment modalities, and provides a safe space for all, Sara will work great for you.
