In the first therapy session and consultation call, you can expect to go over what currently brings you into therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of therapy (ex: I’m overwhelmed with everything on my plate as a mom and I want to have a place to talk through it all).
I may ask you questions about your family or relational history along the way to get a better understanding of the systems and patterns that have shaped who you are and what obstacles you’ve overcome.
I may also ask you about various somatic presentations or occasionally invite you to check in with your body. I am a somatic practicing therapist which means that I believe that therapy is most impactful when we are fully embodied and bring our bodies to therapy for a stronger mind/body connection.
Each session can go either one of two ways:
(A) Can piggyback on each session, checking back in on content from previous week and where you’re at now
(B) Can expand into other areas of your life and be a general check-in for your mental health each week.

Nope. Not here at least. There are lots of different therapists out there but I am a space holding therapist. This just means I work best with clients who are open to getting to understanding the parts of themselves that they’re struggling with or ashamed of. I believe that when we offer radical self-compassion and loving kindness to these parts of us without rushing them, those things we struggle with eventually pan out.

I don’t work with men, children, or individuals under the age of 21. There are some exceptions but generally, I work mostly with late 20s-50s+.
I also don’t accept clients who are looking for short-term therapy or who would like to do EMDR work while also working with their individual therapist.
“I underestimated how hard it would be adjusting to postpartum. Working with Sara, I never felt judged and I was able to process a lot of my fears, navigate stressors, and most importantly, find my voice as a new mom.”
