A quiet space to set things down, for a little while.
Trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, depression, and the hard seasons of being a person. You do not have to carry this alone.
The room holds whatever you bring in.
Most people who come to therapy have been carrying something for a long time. A feeling that will not lift. A memory that returns uninvited. A relationship they cannot name yet cannot put down. They arrive, often, a little exhausted — and usually a little embarrassed about being exhausted.
I want you to know that the exhaustion is reasonable. Life asks a great deal of us, and nobody teaches us how to answer. Therapy, at its best, is a quiet room where you can finally set things down and look at them without having to fix them first.
We begin wherever you are. No form to fill out about your suffering, no diagnosis to earn before you are allowed to feel better. Just a conversation — and, over time, the slow, patient work of coming home to yourself.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Read each one slowly. There is no grade, no diagnosis — only the quiet acknowledgment of what you carry.
- You lie awake at night with thoughts you cannot slow down.
- A difficult event is still living somewhere in your body.
- You have lost interest in things that used to feel like yours.
- A transition — a grief, a move, a leaving — has left you unmoored.
- You feel fine on paper, and somehow not fine at all.
- You are tired of being the strong one in every room.
A few ways the work takes shape.
We begin with talking. From there, we add what serves you — and leave out what does not.
EMDR · for the memories that will not quiet
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing helps the brain finish metabolizing difficult memories, so they lose their grip on the present. Gentle, evidence-based, and surprisingly quick to feel.
Cognitive & Behavioral · for the thoughts that will not let up
Practical tools to notice the thought patterns that keep you stuck — and small, doable ways to unlearn them. We build scaffolding; you do the standing.
Attachment & Relational · for the old patterns in new relationships
Some things we inherit without asking. Together we name them, trace them back, and slowly practice something new — the way we speak to ourselves, the way we let others near.
Somatic & Grounding · for what the body remembers
The body keeps a record. These are small, physical practices — breath, orientation, gentle movement — that help the nervous system settle. No yoga poses required.
The work is not to become someone else.
It is to remember the person you were before the world asked you to be quieter, smaller, easier. Therapy, at its best, is a slow return to a self you never quite left.
A clinician trained to listen first.
I have been in practice for twelve years, most of them in a quiet room in Brooklyn, working with people the way I once wished someone would work with me. My training is in trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, and relational work — but what matters more is the orientation underneath it: that you are already whole, and therapy is just the patient practice of remembering that.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, grief, and the slow hard seasons of life transitions. I see clients in person in Brooklyn and virtually across New York State.
What clients have shared.
Quoted with permission. Names shortened for privacy, as is customary.
I put off therapy for years because I thought I should be able to handle things on my own. Sarah made me realize that asking for help is, in fact, the bravest thing I have ever done.
The EMDR sessions changed everything. Memories that used to send me into a spiral no longer have that power. I feel, for the first time in years, free.
Sarah listens in a way that makes you feel truly heard. For the first time in a long time, I feel like myself again.
The shape of beginning.
No fine print. Just what the first few weeks usually look like.
A 20-minute conversation
A free first call, on video or phone. We talk about what is bringing you here and whether we might be a good fit. No pressure, no paperwork yet.
The first three sessions
We get to know one another. I listen more than I speak. We slowly map the landscape of what you have been carrying — and what you are hoping for.
The work, at your pace
We find the rhythm that suits your life — weekly, bi-weekly, or as needed. You stay as long as it is useful and not a moment longer. The door stays open.
A few quiet questions.
Is therapy really confidential?
+Yes. Everything we discuss is protected by law. I follow strict HIPAA guidelines and will not share your information without your written consent — except in rare circumstances required by law, which I will always tell you about first.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
+If something feels heavier than it should, therapy can help. You do not need a diagnosis or a crisis to start. Many of the people I work with simply feel stuck, or tired, or like they have been holding their breath for a long time.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
+Yes. I see clients in person in Brooklyn and virtually across New York State over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. Many long-term clients use a mix of both.
How long does therapy usually take?
+It depends on what you are working through. Some people feel real relief in weeks; others stay for longer, deeper work. My only rule is that you stay as long as it is useful and not a day longer.
Do you accept insurance?
+I am an out-of-network provider. I provide detailed receipts (superbills) you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. We can talk through cost on the first call so there are no surprises.
What if I have never done therapy before?
+Most of my clients are first-time therapy-goers. You do not need to prepare or know what to say. I will guide us. The only thing you need is a willingness to show up — and even that can be shaky at first.
If you are here, something in you is already beginning.
