Hello and welcome! My name is Sarah and I’m your friendly neighborhood feminist therapist. I do therapy a little different than others you may have worked with. I was trained in feminist-multicultural therapy and have a fundamental belief that we cannot fully disentangle our wellbeing as individuals from our wellbeing as a society. That means that sessions with me often include explorations of the individual, communal, and societal factors that are impacting your mental health and wellbeing. Additionally, it is important to me to always be in pursuit of anti-oppressive therapy practices; I aim to blend personal healing with political/structural awareness in a non-judgmental, non-hierarchical space. I am licensed in Utah and California.

How I can help you
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be 100% you and to partner with you in pursuing wellbeing. As a non-hierarchical therapist, I believe that you are the expert on your own life and I’m here as a teammate to offer my own expertise from a therapeutic perspective. Together, we can identify the things that aren’t working for you, why they’re not working for you, and whether you’d like to completely change them, modify them, or radically accept them. Ultimately, I want to help you know and understand yourself and the communities in which you live so that you can set your life up in ways that make you feel content and authentic.
Typical first meeting
During our first meeting, I have three goals: 1) to introduce you to my practice policies and review initial housekeeping items, 2) to answer any questions you have about me or my practice, and 3) to understand a bit about your background and what’s bringing you to therapy. This looks like exploring basic information about your history, current circumstances, and what you’re hoping to address in sessions together. From there, we can find a good place to start.
What I specialize in
I specialize in working with folks who have counter-culture or “othered” life experiences. That includes the LGBTQIA+ community, sex workers, folks practicing (or interested in) consensual non-monogamy, the kink community, and folks experiencing religious crises and transitions, and more. I also specialize in working with folks who struggle with autoimmunity, chronic illness, and chronic pain.
