Sarah’s (she/her) approach to therapy is rooted in self-compassion and radical acceptance. She is person-centered, trauma-informed, and cultivates a curious, non-judgemental, safe-as-possible, caring space for clients to share their stories. She believes clients are the experts of their own lives and is here to support their exploration and development. She is drawn toward a multi-dimensional view of the self and uses parts work to help clients gain insight into issues of stuckness, ambivalence, and conflict. As a relationally-oriented therapist, she finds that generative insights can emerge from the client-therapist dynamic itself.

Sarah earned a M.S.S. in Clinical Social Work Practice from Bryn Mawr College and has been practicing therapy since 2023. Coming from a social work background, she thinks about people holistically, both as individuals unto themselves and in the context of their current and past relationships, communities, and environments. 

While by no means an exhaustive list, you might connect well with Sarah if:

• You are curious about your identity and want a space to explore/to practice becoming who you already are

• You’re new to therapy, have heard the cultural buzz of people “doing the work” and “healing,” and are wondering what that looks like in practice

• You are in the midst of a life transition and are seeking support with envisioning and navigating the next stages of your life

• You are wondering about meaning, purpose, and personal growth in a society that frames adulthood as a destination (and not as a continued stage of development)

• You identify as queer, non-binary, and/or trans and seek an affirming space

• You identify as fat and/or experience issues with body image, and want a therapist who will take a body-neutral, fat-liberation, health at every size approach

• You experienced a challenging, complicated, and/or traumatic upbringing and want to process how your past is showing up in your present (and potentially shaping your future)

• You seek liberation from internalized oppression (e.g. racism/white supremacy culture, patriarchy/misogyny, fatphobia, ableism, classism, homophobia/transphobia/compulsory cishet normativity)

• You are laboring (as a student or employee) under a higher education institution

• You are an artist, maker, or creative

• You are someone who uses ambition, drive, productivity, and/or perfectionism as a coping mechanism
