sarah’s therapeutic approach
It is no mistake that you have landed right here… and I am thrilled that you are here!
My approach to counseling is collaborative and centered around YOU. Our sessions are sacred. I aim to create a place where you feel safe to experience yourself in a gentle, paced way. I pull from existential, transpersonal, and Gestalt theory, where we will use somatic (body-based), mindfulness, and contemplative tools to regulate your nervous system and live in alignment with your unique life’s purpose.
I am a Lyme literate therapist, and am particularly passionate about supporting clients who are navigating Lyme disease + co-infections, as well as other chronic health conditions.
on a more personal note…
I have always been a warm, heart-centered human. I consider myself a seeker, always curious and wanting to dive deep. My search for ways to heal and grow began with my tumultuous upbringing. Growing up, life was hard. As I continued to unfold and ‘peel my onion,’ I was struck with debilitating chronic illnesses and chronic pain. Tarlov Cyst Disease, Lyme Disease + co-infections/TBDs, Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) (mold and other sensitivities), and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) took over my life. I have faced myself and my mortality in unimaginable ways.
And yet…
I make a conscious choice not to let these things define me. Through ‘leaning in’ I am able to embrace the light in my darkness as fuel for transformation. This death and rebirth process has ripped my heart wide open and deepened my compassion for humanity. It has expanded my understanding of pain, suffering, chronic illness, and trauma and strengthened my trust in the wisdom of my body and the Universe.
My wish is for all beings everywhere to feel supported in their own journey through life. It is my genuine hope to support you in embracing your light and help you embody who you truly are.
