Therapy, but make it human

Let's talk it out, sort it through, and move forward.

Life gets messy. You don't have to figure it all out alone. I offer virtual therapy for children, families, couples, and people navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood—plus clinical supervision for social workers.

How I can help

Real support for real life.

There is no one-size-fits-all version of therapy here. We'll shape our work around who you are, what matters to you, and what would actually help.

My approach

SW

Come as you are. Really.

You do not need to have the right words, a perfectly organized story, or everything figured out before therapy begins. We can slow things down, get curious about what is happening beneath the surface, and find next steps that feel realistic for you.

My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and collaborative. That means I bring clinical expertise, you bring expertise on your own life, and we work together from there.

Hi, I'm Sarah

A real person on the other side of the screen.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and a Licensed Master Social Worker in Michigan.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable—or just plain awkward. My goal is to make the process clear, comfortable, and genuinely useful from our first virtual appointment.

You can expect warmth, honesty, a little humor when it fits, and plenty of room to show up exactly as you are. I am currently accepting telehealth clients in both New York and Michigan.
