Therapy for women

My Approach

I’ll meet you where you are. I want to get to know you, even the parts that feel hard or prickly. I accept all of you and where you are in this moment, by fully listening and witnessing. Next we’ll go on an adventure inward to help you find what’s keeping you stuck. Understanding your own patterns and connecting to your inner self can illuminate the path forward. Finally, we will work together to create change. I believe you have inner knowing and wisdom that can be evoked to make changes that feel true to you. I create a collaborative space for your journey where you can learn new skills, nurture inner change and feel safe being challenged.

About Sara

I am a therapist who is grounded, realistic and hopeful. I am curious and creative. You are the expert of your own experience, and it can be helpful to have another perspective. I’m a direct communicator and frequent feedback deliverer. I enjoy using humor in our process and will embrace the hard moments. I will support you in your moments of transformation, metamorphosis and discovery of the self. I will create a space for you to feel not judged and supported.

I offer talk therapy for growth, introspection, reflection, processing and skill building. I also offer dance/movement therapy for those who feel like they've talked and talked but haven't made the progress they are searching for. And for those who want to feel a deeper integration between mind & body, a full bodied way of being.
