I’m Sara.
I believe you deserve relief from stress and hope for change.
As a licensed clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in the San Francisco Bay Area / California, I provide counseling by exploring your experiences and challenges by developing practical coping strategies.
I have over a decade of experience supporting clients who are going through a multitude of challenges inclusive of work stress, life transitions, and multicultural issues.
How I can help
I specialize in therapy for lasting change.
Clients I work with face the following challenges:
-
You’re trying to meet everyone’s expectations—at work, at home, and within yourself—while feeling stretched thin and uncertain about what you truly want. The constant push and pull between roles leaves you questioning your path and your sense of balance.
Many clients are often inundated with multiple demands on their energy. We can work together by helping reprioritize what is important to you and make decisions aligned with your values. -

Therapy can support you in finding clarity and a through-line amongst the noise while also giving you tangible steps on how to manage stress, anxiety and depression while also feeling effective in your life. -
You want to be understood and supported, yet it often feels like your voice goes unheard. Whether it’s in relationships, at work, or within yourself, boundaries blur and clarity fades, making it hard to feel grounded, confident, and connected.
Working together, I can support you in finding your voice again, setting effective boundaries that don’t feel like cutting others off and letting go of the constant cycle of people pleasing.
How it works
Life is stressful enough right now. Let me make this part as easy as possible.
