ABOUT SARAH
Art credit: Tekenens
Hello, I’m Sarah! I’ve been helping people live happier, more fulfilling lives for over a decade. I am EMDRIA certified and work with clients virtually in California, New York, and Florida. I typically use a combination of talk therapy and EMDR in my work, and I am most informed by Narrative Therapy, IFS, and RCT.
My specializations and competencies include:
Men’s mental health
Trauma
Anxiety & Panic
Work stress/burnout
Grief (including pet loss)
Substance use and abuse
Sexuality (kink & sex worker friendly)
Spirituality
Veterans
First responders
LGBTQ+
Neurodivergence
ENM/CNM
Surrogate partners
My colleagues and former clients would likely describe me as warm, open-minded, direct, transparent, humorous, collaborative, and a little nerdy. I am a proud nerd and get really excited about staying up to date with the newest developments in the field. You will always find me with a book. I am also well-versed in gamer culture and many fandoms.
I worked in a community mental health setting for nearly a decade prior to opening a private practice. I’ve served as a guest lecturer at various California universities. Nowadays, I take pride in my role of clinical supervisor for pre-licensed therapists. Additionally, I provide consultation services for colleagues on clinical documentation and within other areas of my clinical expertise.
