A calm place to work through what's hard.
I'm Sarah, a therapist in San Diego. I see adults across California by video for relationships, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
Let's talk this week. It starts with a short, free call.
Who I work with
Journeys we might take together
Most of my clients are women in their mid-20s through 40s. If you're a man wondering whether I'm a good fit, I've worked with many men, including at a men's recovery center, and I'd be glad to hear from you.
Relationships
You keep having the same argument, or you're not sure whether to stay. We'll look at what's underneath the pattern and what you actually want.
Life transitions
A move, a breakup, a new job, a loss. Big changes can leave you unsure who you are on the other side. I help you find your footing.
Anxiety and depression
The worry that won't switch off, or the heaviness that makes ordinary days feel like a lot. We'll work on what keeps it going and what helps you feel steadier.
Grief
Losing someone, or something, and finding that the world expects you to be fine sooner than you are.
You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out. We can start from wherever you are.
A note from Sarah
I became a therapist because I believe people change most inside relationships where they feel safe and taken seriously. In our sessions you'll find someone who listens closely, asks honest questions, and doesn't rush you.
I draw on approaches with evidence behind them, like cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based work, and I shape them around your situation rather than the other way around.
I grew up near Seattle and went to the University of Washington, then came to San Diego for graduate school at the University of San Diego. Before opening my private practice, I spent five years working in drug and alcohol recovery.

Getting started
- Insurance
I'm in-network with Blue Shield of California and out-of-state Blue Shield plans, as well as Aetna. If you have a different PPO plan, you can use your out-of-network benefits to get reimbursement for a portion of the cost. Either way, I'll help you check before we begin.
- Blue Shield of California
- Out-of-state Blue Shield plans
- Aetna
- Private pay
If you'd rather pay directly, sessions are $175. I also hold a limited number of reduced-fee spots. If cost is what's standing in the way, please ask.
It all starts with a 15 minute conversation.
I'm committed to helping you find the right care quickly. Tell me a little bit about what's going on and I'll be in touch within a business day.
