Hi, I’m Sara.
Welcome to my psychotherapy practice.
My Approach
Exploratory
Our work together in therapy is a deep, introspective exploration. We will explore layers of your experiences, your mind, and your emotions, in order to better understand you in the present, and to help you shape your life to bring you fulfillment and purpose.
Relational
Our therapeutic relationship is the context in which your growth in therapy starts. I believe that profound growth is possible in the context of a compassionate, collaborative therapy relationship.
Affirming
My therapeutic orientation is rooted in values of feminism, anti-racism, and LGBTQ affirmation. I believe that not only understanding yourself, but also building a compassionate relationship with your self, is key to living a life that is true and fulfilling for you.
About Me:
I strive to build a practice, and therapeutic relationships, in which clients can come to know themselves, and come to accept, love, and care for themselves more completely through the work of building both self understanding and self compassion.
I trained as a clinical social worker, and engaged in advanced study in psychodynamic psychotherapy and relational psychotherapy. I established my practice first by working in a queer community mental health clinic in NYC, then in private practice in Brooklyn, and now mostly online from my practice location in Mexico City, where I relocated with my family in 2020.
I identify as a queer, cisgender, White, Jewish woman. I use she/her pronouns. I believe that my identities matter in our work together, as do yours.
