Cultivating Resilience and Self-Discovery

Individual Psychotherapy for adults 18 and older in New York

Welcome!

I’m Sara, a psychotherapist committed to guiding you on your journey of personal growth, self-acceptance, and self-discovery. My client-centered approach empowers you to take charge of your life in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.

In our sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to process your thoughts and feelings, addressing whatever has brought you to therapy. I believe that therapy can be a healing space for working through past or present traumas, managing stress and anxiety, and improving relationships and self-esteem.

I recognize that each individual is unique, which is why I tailor our work to meet your specific needs through collaboration and introspection. I am here to support you and your goals with empathy and compassion.

I offer virtual therapy sessions for adults aged 18 and older in New York. Together, we can embark on this journey toward emotional healing and personal growth.
