“Sara is seriously the best. I've only met with her a handful of times and I can already tell the difference her advice and counseling are making in my life. She is warm and open, she's a great listener (even with my ADHD-fueled, sometimes directionless rambling), and very reassuring. She also checks me when I need it, but always in a kind and empathetic way. She is easy to talk to, keeps me on my toes in terms of asking questions to help me reflect, and provides a gentle humor that makes heavy topics feel lighter. I look forward to every session.”

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Sara is very authentic and warm when it come to her approach as a therapist. Although she is warm her authenticity has helped me recognize a lot of my behaviors that I’m trying to get better at and I’m grateful for her straightforwardnessz
She was very professional and easy to talk to. I felt reassured to my concerns and she offered resources for concerns I had. I feel very confident about my upcoming sessions and am looking forward to continuing my therapy with her.

Sara is approachable and is very warm. It is very easy to talk to her and I feel like I cover a lot of topics during our sessions. Leaving sessions optimistic and focused on at least one thing to work on for our next meeting. She monitors my progress well and remembers even the smallest details I share. I feel seen.
I've had three sessions with Sara and she is amazing. Enough said. She is the perfect mix of supportive while still challenging me to grow. Have loved my experience so far!
I cannot say enough positive things about Sara. She has been my therapist for over two years and I followed her from a different practice to this one. She is easy and comfortable to talk to, she provides insightful information and I look forward to every session we have. I am very thankful that she is my therapist.
Honestly I was really on the fence with virtual therapy but Sara has really helped me out! I've had some cries and hard sessions. At no point did I feel like I was complaining or if this wasn't it. She really is helping get to where I want to be.
