Hey, I’m Sarah.

Person in a blue beanie and sweater sitting by a window with an ocean view.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a Gestalt therapist for those looking to get more in touch with their aliveness. I specialize in offering liberated, holistic, and anti-oppressive support for queer folks.

I hope to meet all of the parts of you - the lonely ones, the shy ones, the goofy ones, the angry ones, the grieving ones. They’re all welcome here.

To me, therapy should feel safe and expansive.

My approach honors you as the authority of your experience.

Together, we’ll co-create awareness—of what’s happening for you, between us, and around you. Through this deepening awareness, I hope you’ll find greater access to choice and agency.

~ I am deeply committed to practices that foster queer and trans liberation, decolonized healing, a de-centering of patriarchy, access to mutual aid and harm reduction, acknowledgement of oppressive systems and impact, and the dismantling of white supremacy ~

  • It depends on what you are hoping for! I often find that this deep work allows for things to move - for stuck places to start to feel unstuck. My work as a therapist is to really be with you, to hear you, to see you, to know you. For me, this has been deeply healing and has offered me a lot of space for more aliveness. I would love to hear more about what you’re needing so we can explore what this process might look like for you.

  • Once I receive my AMFT number, my full fee will be $180 for individual 50 min sessions and $200 for conjoint 90 min sessions.

  • Aliveness, like everything, is relative. To me, aliveness is the feeling I get when I get to make a choice, when I can access my boundary or my no, when I notice myself (my breath, my body, my being), when I am aware of what I’m experiencing, when I am in full alignment with all parts of myself (the angry parts, the embarrassed parts, the avoidant parts, etc.), when all of me is allowed to come out and play!
