A Little About Sarah

Sarah believes therapy is more than a space to work through pain. It is also an opportunity to cultivate shared joy, resilience, and survival. She views healing as deeply intertwined with social change and sees mental health care as part of collective liberation. Sarah strives to create spaces of shared humanity where clients feel less alone and more connected to themselves and others. She supports teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and identity, and works with LGBTQIA+ individuals and their caregivers, encouraging them to embrace their authentic selves and draw on their strengths to navigate life’s challenges and joys.

Sarah provides an integrative, client centered approach to therapy grounded in the belief that there is no "right way" to engage in therapy. She tailors treatment to each individual's unique needs drawing from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities while incorporating somatic awareness and ritual based practices to support the interconnected emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects of well-being. Sarah believes the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change and is committed to creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected. 

Outside of therapy, Sarah is a competitive spoken word poet, teaching artist, and youth worker. In her free time, she enjoys listening to vinyl records, supporting local drag performers, and embracing all things witchy and astrological. 
 
Before becoming a therapist, Sarah worked as a middle school teacher in Boston Public Schools, where she developed a deep love for supporting adolescents and teens. That passion led her to transition into mental health care, driven by a desire to show up for young people and their families in more holistic, meaningful ways. Sarah’s therapeutic approach is grounded in intersectionality and identity. She draws from narrative therapy, empowering clients to reclaim their stories and challenge harmful societal narratives, alongside a range of trauma-informed practices that honor the profound ways trauma shapes our lives and relationships.
 
In her spare time, Sarah is a competitive spoken word poet. Currently, she is a teaching artist and youth poetry coach at the Northshore Alliance of Gay and Lesbian Youth and Mass Poetry. When she’s not writing or performing, Sarah loves traveling with her wife, spending time at local coffee shops with friends, or getting lost in a new astrology book. You can usually find her listening to a Spotify playlist full of Stevie Wonder, Chance the Rapper, or SZA, and she’s always exploring new paths in holistic healing.
