hi, i’m sarah
a queer therapist for teens, adults, and relationships
i'm a gestalt and somatically informed therapist, centering anti-oppressive and lgbtqia+ affirming care.
i love being a therapist. i support individuals and relationships who are looking for transformation that feels real and enduring. folks i work with are often seeking freedom from old & painful patterns, healing from past trauma that still lives in the present, and a release from the inner critic that assures them they aren’t good enough.

areas of specialty:
lgbtqia+ teens & adults
parents of lgbtqia+ folks
couples/non-traditional relationships
gender dysphoria & gender-affirming care
grief & loss
attachment & relational trauma
panic, anxiety, & nervous system regulation
“people-pleasers” & religious trauma
addiction, recovery, & sobriety
my clients often find results in:
feeling unhooked from old, oppressive, and tiring patterns
connecting more honestly and living in ally-ship with their queer or trans kid(s)
learning how to notice and trust emotions and signals from the body
experiencing more liberation, agency, and choice in their lives
turning towards and integrating the despair that arises from loss of a loved one
shedding shame from purity culture and reclaiming sexuality and pleasure
healing relational anxiety, untangling people-pleasing patterns, and setting boundaries
reconnecting with parts of themselves that had to go silent to adapt and survive
accessing the wisdom of the body to guide insight, growth, and self-understanding
discovering a supportive space where they can share openly and feel less alone (teens, especially!)
