“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
–Elbert Hubbard

Sarah works with adults and older teens navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, and relationship challenges. She also works with couples using the Gottman Method, helping partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen connection.

For families, Sarah offers focused parent–child sessions with older teens or adult children. These are typically short-term, goal-oriented meetings designed to address specific concerns, improve communication, and create a clear path forward.

Sarah specializes in helping clients who feel “not like themselves” gain insight into underlying patterns, reconnect with their values, and develop practical strategies to feel more grounded and in control of their lives. Her approach is individualized and integrative, grounded in the belief that therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique experiences and needs. A strong, supportive therapeutic relationship is at the core of her work.

Her background includes outpatient therapy, co-facilitating parenting groups, academic advising at the Brown School, and leadership roles in nonprofit programming focused on empowering young girls. She also has extensive experience in child welfare, working as an in-home counselor and senior care manager supporting foster children and families. Sarah is committed to social justice and has contributed to initiatives focused on racial equity and anti-racism.
