Sarah (they/she) holds a master’s degree in clinical mental-health counseling with a specialization in trauma studies from Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass. As a person-centered and relational clinician, Sarah believes in the healing power of connection, as well as each person’s ability and right to heal, grow and create meaning.

Her clinical work focuses on cultivating insight and self-compassion in service of trauma-informed, holistic healing.
