About Sarah

Sarah came to clinical social work after a career in PR and strategic communications, but she has always been driven by curiosity and a desire to better understand and connect with those around her. Her own personal experiences in therapy guide her approach, as well as her background as a modern dancer. She believes in the importance of attending to the mind-body connection, and her work is somatic as much as it is relational and emotions-focused. She often invites clients to slow down, get curious, and tune into how they are feeling in their body in sessions. Her work is grounded in her values as an anti-oppressive and intersectional practitioner, and she believes in the importance of understanding clients in the context of all of their overlapping identities. She works with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, as well as those seeking support around self-esteem issues and navigating life transitions. 

 

Sarah self-identifies as a cisgender, straight, White woman.
