I think about therapy kind of like talking to a trusted friend, who happens to have years of training and experience in the things you need help with.
As your therapist I only have your best interests as my focus. You also know that what we talk about is kept confidential. You know that unlike friends and family, I won't "get tired of hearing you talk about it", and I don't have any other agendas. When I think about my role as a therapist like this, I am so honored to be that person for my clients. Welcome Video

- You feel like your friends may be tired of hearing about your problems, but you need someone to talk to who really gets what you're going through.
- It's like you've hit a wall and need help getting unstuck.

If this sounds like you, I know that I can help. I know that life can be better than this and I know that you can get past the past in a healthy way.
Together we can make that positive and lasting change you want and need.
Welcome! I am so glad that you are here. Please take a few minutes to browse around my therapy site and see what I am all about. The short version is that my number one goal is for you to feel comfortable talking about anything with me. I am an experienced therapist and I work with a lot of women who are stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. This can be due to life transitions, past trauma or a difficult current situation. I also have years of experience treating individuals who have experienced trauma from the past or present.
It is so exciting to see clients try a new strategy or come to a new realization and find relief or success in therapy. That little spark begins to grow and hope for the future develops, self confidence improves, the joy of getting back on track emerges. I know the value of therapy and counseling, not only from the perspective as therapist but also as a client myself. I would love to share this very special form of self care with you and see how it helps you through a challenging time.

"Sara is amazing! I have been to counselor's all over the country, and she is by far, the best. I was seeing another counselor in San Diego and I was just not feeling validated or like I was being challenged. I found Sara on Facebook and her blogs and video's really resonated with me. I liked her calm, gentle spirit. I liked her overall messages!
She has helped me, in a short time, heal in a way that my previous counselor couldn't. Life is challenging and confusing. I recommend Sara as a "port" in the storm. "
