Welcome

 
“Sarah’s constructive & empathetic approach to therapy helped guide me through a very difficult time. Her compassion shines through, yet at the same time she provides the push a person needs to confront underlying problems affecting one’s well-being.”
— Stephanie S., Fairfax, VA

Are you taking care of work, family and friends, but still feeling like a burden? Have you been thinking about starting (or re-starting) therapy for a while?

Maybe your connections with friends and others are trickier than usual, and you'd like to talk them out with a confidential third-party. Or you've experienced a major loss and you'd like to talk to someone. To make sense of what happened. So it won't continue to feel so heavy to carry.

I provide a relaxed, non-judgemental place for you to vent, reflect, laugh, learn & heal.

We will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to enhance your day-to-day life. And I will serve as a reflection point, like a mirror, to help you move towards your goal(s). And with over 5 decades in the area, I can connect you with everything from physicians to support groups to activities along the way.

Note: When not with clients, I supervise a small group of Residents in Counseling and Masters-Level Interns, introduced in the “About” section in the Main Menu. Each is selected and trained personally by me to provide affordable therapy to women, couples, young adults and teens in the community.

 

Specialties

Women’s Therapy

Do you ever feel like your life is so busy you’ve lost your sense of self? Maybe you’ve been doing so much for other people that you’ve neglected self-care. Your friends and family may tell you that you don’t seem like yourself lately.

Postpartum Therapy

When do I get to enjoy motherhood? I’m the do-er, the organizer, but I’ve started to question if I can take care of my newborn. And I can’t remember the last time I felt like myself.

Depression Therapy

Have you been feeling unusually overwhelmed and irritable lately? Are there days where you don’t even want to get out of bed? Perhaps you feel no energy or motivation to do the things you ordinarily love.




 

Anxiety
Therapy

Have you tried “all the things”: exercise, clean eating, sleep, socializing — but nothing works? Is it hard to know if you’re stressed, anxious or depressed? Are your loved ones noticing a change?

Grief
Counseling

Does life feel unbearable without your loved one there? Do you feel like you have to reimagine your whole identity now that they’re gone? Has the grieving process left you feeling shattered?

Couples
Therapy

Do you feel like you’re doing all the hard work in your relationship and your partner isn’t? Does your significant other seem to ignore, dismiss, or criticize everything you say?
