More than Coping. Real Change.

Depth-Oriented Therapy for Lasting Insight

Therapy here goes beyond surface-level coping strategies. Together, we slow things down and look more deeply at patterns, relationships, losses, and expectations—so experiences no longer feel so heavy to carry alone. Whether you’re navigating a major life change, a painful loss, or increasingly complicated relationships, you’ll have a confidential, thoughtful space to make sense of what’s happening and why.

I offer a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where you can vent, reflect, laugh, learn, and heal. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside insight-oriented work, I serve as a steady reflection point—helping you gain clarity, reconnect with yourself, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

With over five decades in the Washington, DC area, I’m also able to connect clients with trusted physicians, support groups, and community resources when helpful—so support extends beyond our sessions.

In addition to my clinical work, I supervise a small group of Residents in Counseling, introduced in the “About” section, who see adult, young adult and couples clients. Each is personally selected and trained by me to provide high-quality, affordable therapy to women, couples, and young adults in our community.

Sarah’s constructive & empathetic approach to therapy helped guide me through a very difficult time. Her compassion shines through, yet at the same time she provides the push a person needs to confront underlying problems affecting one’s well-being.
