About Sarah

I help mothers navigate parenting stress, work-life balance challenges, and the emotional weight of raising children, some of whom may have additional developmental or medical needs. Some moms I work with are also navigating added stress related to their child’s development, learning needs, or medical concerns, while others are simply feeling burned out, anxious, or stretched beyond capacity. In therapy, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, less reactive, and more steady in your day-to-day life. Moms often put themselves last; but you matter too. As a foster parent and mother myself, I understand how easy it is to put your own needs last. But you matter too. Therapy is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and focus on your own healing.

About Me

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because I believe no one should have to navigate life's challenges alone. As a social worker, mother, and foster parent, I've seen how overwhelming life can become when you're carrying the weight of caring for everyone else. My passion is helping mothers feel more grounded, more confident, and more like themselves again.
About Me

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I wish people knew that therapy doesn't require you to have all the answers. You don't need to know exactly what to say or even where to begin. My role isn't to judge or tell you what to do; it's to create a safe space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
About Me

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

I am a social worker, therapist, parent, and former foster parent. I have professional and personal experience with managing the struggles of motherhood and mental health.
