IN-PERSON THERAPY IN ROSLINDALE, MA AND ONLINE THROUGHOUT MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLANDMore room for what you feel.
More trust in what you want.
Therapy for thoughtful, creative, high-achieving people who look capable on the outside but struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the effects of trauma.
You may understand yourself pretty well and still find yourself getting pulled into the same patterns.
You want to feel more at ease in your relationships, trust yourself more, and feel as capable at work on the inside as you look on paper. Instead you may find yourself:
Irritable, stressed, and stretched too thin
Second-guessing yourself at work and socially
Strongly affected by other people’s moods
Saying yes when you want to say no
Wondering why things that seem so easy for other people can feel so hard
Therapy can help you:
Know how you’re feeling and what you need before you’re already overwhelmed
Trust your own judgment more
Know where your limits are and feel more able to act on them
Feel less responsible for other people’s feelings
Have more room for connection, creativity, rest, and enjoyment
How I work
Sometimes therapy looks a lot like conversation. At other times, we may slow things down and pay closer attention to a feeling, a thought, a physical sensation, an image, or an automatic response that is easy to miss when things are moving quickly.
I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), depending on what we’re working on and what seems most useful.
These approaches give us different ways to work with patterns that you may understand very well intellectually but still find yourself caught in.
Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a therapist who works with people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware—and still find themselves caught in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or putting other people first. I help you work with those patterns in ways that go beyond insight alone, so you can respond differently in the moments that matter.
