“when i am deeply aware, i am no longer compliant.”

hi, i’m sarah

a queer therapist for teens, adults, and relationships

i am a therapist practicing from a gestalt, intersectional feminist, and existential lens. i center anti-oppressive and lgbtqia+ affirming care.

i support individuals and relationships by emphasizing self-responsibility and here & now awareness. folks i work with are often seeking freedom from old & painful patterns, to heal from past trauma that lives in the present, and a release from the inner critic that assures them they aren’t good enough.

areas of specialty:

  • queer and gender-diverse adults

  • parents of lgbtqia+ folks

  • couples/non-traditional relationships

  • attachment & relational trauma

  • panic, anxiety, & nervous system regulation

  • “people-pleasers” & religious harm

my clients often find results in:

  • feeling unhooked from old, oppressive, and harmful 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

  • 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
