Sarah helps those who aren’t feeling like themselves lately to identify root causes as to why, develop strategies to live into identified values and to feel like life is manageable again. She believes that we are each unique individuals, so a one size fits all approach to therapy is not realistic. While each person’s history is a complex and beautiful story, Sarah’s approach remains multi-faceted and focused on what the client needs. Of utmost importance is a safe, nurturing and comfortable therapeutic alliance between the client and practitioner.
