Sara is one of the most honest, nonjudgmental and supportive colleagues I have had the pleasure of working with. Whether we are collaborating on clients or working together on a fundraiser, I can always depend on Sara to show up authentically and with a fun and positive perspective. These qualities make her not only an exceptional therapist, but remarkably skilled at cultivating community and relationships. I am so grateful to have her as a mentor, friend and ally in the field.

I am privileged to know Sara as a colleague and friend.  Her style is warm, caring and authentic. She uses humor and perspective to make her clients feel comfortable and safe, and to help them make progress towards achieving their goals. Sara has a wonderful talent for immediately connecting deeply with those she is with, making others feel seen, heard and understood. The world is a better place with Sara in it, and her healing gifts will continue to benefit those who work with her.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Sara: I appreciate how she normalizes certain feelings or experiences that do not always feel so normal, and I also value that she has my best interests at heart.  I look forward to speaking with Sara during our sessions because she has opened the door for me to have less self-judgment and more self-acceptance. I am grateful for the guidance I have received from Sara – thanks to her vast knowledge and expertise, I am now in a much happier and fulfilled place in my life than I used to be!

Raising 2 young children, I found myself becoming increasingly anxious. I felt overwhelmed with fear for my children’s health, and resolved to just get through the day, rather than enjoy the moment. Meeting with Sara gave me the chance to open up to someone outside of my family. Sara helped me navigate my fears and reminded me that I’m not alone - these intense feelings are normal. As I continued working with Sara, I started to let go of unproductive worries. Sara is warm and wonderful!

Through working with Sara, I learned about the importance of pushing pause between a difficult situation and a reaction. Even when faced with extremely overwhelming challenges I do not have control over, I learned to implement adaptive coping tools and to forgive myself for, and to give myself grace in, the messy moments. I also learned to build trust muscles in myself and my support system. Sara has been a positive and guiding force in my journey of healing and growing; she is wise beyond measure!

Sara’s support has been pivotal throughout my transition into fatherhood. She has taught me the importance of self-compassion and helped me break lifelong habits of talking down to myself. In turn, I’ve become more confident and resilient in all aspects of my life — balancing work, being a loving husband and hands-on dad, and an overall happier person. It may sound cliché, but learning to be kinder to myself has been the most significant change I’ve made since seeking therapy.

Sara helped me cultivate empathy, self-knowledge, and practical techniques for the day to day overwhelm: reframing, shifting my perspective in such a way that obstacles transform into opportunities for growth, change, or reflection. I no longer fear the ebb and flow of emotions we all experience, and instead allow myself the freedom to move through them, trusting that they will eventually move on. I cannot overstate the tremendous positive impact my work with Sara has had on my and my family's life.

Sara is an incredible therapist: insightful, with attention to detail and a methodical, yet flexible approach; a genuine love for what she does and desire to help make working with her life changing. Some of her helpful advice: 1. be kind to yourself 2. tell yourself that it is OK for the pendulum to swing a little further than where you want to settle as long as you are working through necessary, but hard life adjustments 3. reframe deep seeded but wrong beliefs about yourself, a necessary component of healing 4. breathe and practice gratitude.
