Grief, loss, and bereavement, life transitions
About Sarah
You may be grieving someone who died, a relationship that ended, a life you expected to have, or a part of yourself that has changed. Grief can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, numb, angry, guilty, or simply unlike yourself. I work with teens and adults of any age navigating many forms of grief and loss, including bereavement, anticipatory grief, caregiver grief, aging, spiritual deconstruction, and major life transitions.
My approach to therapy is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed, person-centered care. Rather than focusing on getting rid of difficult thoughts, emotions, or pain, we can work together to make space for those experiences while exploring what matters most to you. Sessions may include talking through what happened, making sense of your emotions, incorporating art, or developing tools to navigate life alongside your grief.
We can make space for whatever grief looks like for you, without expectations about how you should feel or where you should be in the process. You also don't have to be grieving a specific loss to benefit from therapy. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, feeling stuck, struggling with anxiety or self-worth, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we can work together to figure out what you need. Therapy is a collaborative process, shaped around your needs and experiences. You do not have to have a specific diagnosis or know exactly what you need from therapy to reach out.
There is no version of you that is not welcome in my office. I welcome clients of all races, genders, sexualities, religions, spiritualities, and identities, and it is a priority to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, heard, and understood. My goal is not to help you build a life free of pain, but to help you find ways to move forward with greater meaning, connection, and purpose while honoring what you have experienced.
