My name is Sarah and I am an AMFT born and raised in the Bay Area. I have always found myself drawn to working with adolescents and young adults, dedicating my early career to foster youth, as well as high school students and their families.

In addition to private practice I am also a therapist at John Muir’s Intensive Out Patient Program for adolescents and transition-aged-youth.

Therapy Style

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, but tends to lean heavily person-centered and existential.

I have a holistic approach to mental health and I believe it is inexplicably intertwined and interconnected to everything in our communities and family systems. It’s important to understand the role of stress in our lives and its toll on our mental and physical health, family dynamics, self-actualization. It’s also important that I support you in finding your internal strengths, while also looking through a culturally-sensitive lens.

I also have experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, general family therapy, and Humanistic Therapy.

In addition to being a therapist I also have a great passion for natures, exploring new hiking trails around the Bay, taking care of my plants,

and enjoying the beautiful California sunshine.”
