Hi, I’m Sara.

At the heart of my work is the joy I feel working with young people in an empathic, genuine and compassionate manner; this is what calls me to my counseling practice.

In holding space for and seeing each human for who they are, I witness and encourage my clients’ innate capacity to unlock and ultimately celebrate their own strengths!
