Meet Sarah
The Journey is to Discover the Unity and Power of our Entire Selves,
Spirit, Mind & Body.
- Sarah​
I'm so glad you're here. I am sure there is a reason we are crossing paths because all things align for a purpose.
Because I believe that we all deserve to feel at peace with our challenges, struggles, and limitations, because I believe that a spiritual journey and self-compassion are the answers to restoring joy and fulfillment, I dedicate myself to my work as a mentor and spiritual teacher.
​
I work with newly licensed LCSWs, MSW interns, and seekers. To therapists and interns, I offer guidance and education on how to intertwine interfaith spirituality into social work practice. With seekers unrelated to a program, I provide spiritual guidance and support through your journey.
​
As we integrate spirituality into social work practice, we must recognize that this will ask you to explore your own understanding of the Divine and its impact on your life. The most effective therapists dive deeply into themselves, explore their shadows, and seek to let in the light. Only this way can we ask clients to do the same.
I have lived with bipolar and OCD since childhood. I have experienced trauma and a life story that was complex and chaotic. I have dealt with eating disorders and a hateful body image. There have been times in my life when these experiences seemed like all life would ever have to offer. Today I know differently.
Through deep suffering and the willingness to navigate through the most painful parts of myself, I have discovered that our most difficult challenges and complex stories can be assets to our practice and our spiritual journeys. They can hold the potential to create our greatest joy, happiness, and fulfillment.
​
We can only ask clients to step into their suffering and journey to healing if we have been willing to as well. How can we ask others to take up courage in this way if we have not done the same?
Within our journey together, we will navigate through challenges that have become areas of pain, holding you back from the life you deserve to live.
Together we can discover the light you have to offer humanity, whether you are a social worker or seeker. This is what awakening is about. It is not about the small, limited "me", it is about bringing light to all that exists. Through this endeavor, you will discover your fulfillment and joy.

Spiritual Guide
Currently, I am a Seminarian studying at the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple. Interfaith spirituality focuses on the Divine that resides at the center of all religion and all spiritual practice.
​
Interfaith spirituality honors all religions as sacred paths to the One, which can be referred to as God, Allah, the Om, Tao...
On a journey into your Spiritual center, you can discover who you authentically are, the you that is worthy, valued, loved, and fulfilled regardless of the approval or acceptance of others.
​
You can find the truth of YOU, who truly are, who you've always been, who you've been looking for all this time.
​
You are Divinity itself. Yet, we may want to believe that, but it feels unreal or unattainable. I've been there. The only way to know this for yourself is to embark on a dedicated, perseverant quest inward until you discover who you've always been.
Mediumship & Intuitive Guidance
As an intuitive, I frequently bring energy insight, and healing into sessions if it resonates with you.
​
I can tune into the energy system allowing me to "see" issues or disruption. We can use this information to support your healing process.
​
At times this includes mediumship when those who have passed are or are members of your Spirit Tribe who are seeking to support your journey.
​
We then explore various methods that can be applied to your daily life, both through our work together and practices to be carried out at home.
​
The goal of my work is to empower people to engage in their personal energy and create healing within their own lives, therefore, a large part of energy work is education, self-study, and practice.
​
Through this, incredible healing can occur.
Psychotherapy
Mental Health Healing blended with Spiritual Seeking is all about
-
Transforming perceived limitations or problems into forces of empowerment.
-
Intertwining individualized holistic practices into your daily life to maintain momentum and manifestation
-
Specific techniques to apply deep compassion for clearing the mind while lifting mood and spirit into a state of renewed power.
Through our work together we
-
Access authentic self-acceptance and embody the Divine as the foundation of love and compassion
-
Integrate mental health issues and traumas into the self to achieve whole health

reconnect with and empower dreams that may have seemed sabotaged by perceived blocks, rejuvenating hope, and purpose.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a life-changing therapy that is unmatched by any other method.
​
EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method engaging both neurological science with psychotherapy in order to create massive change in how we feel about and view negative life experiences.
​
EMDR was initially used to help people reclaim freedom over their lives after extreme trauma, such as front-line combat. However, it was soon discovered how this therapy could be used to address a multitude of other concerns and challenges beyond extreme trauma, including upsetting life events that seem to stick with us, emotional distress related to OCD, coping with chronic pain, recovering from addiction, and more.
​
However, EMDR isn't for everyone. If you're interested in exploring this for your healing, we would first engage in psychotherapy to see if this would be helpful to you.
Unique Aspects Within My Practice
As a Seminarian, my purpose is to expand light by supervising and mentoring LCSW-level psychotherapists so that they can bring more light to more people and uplift our world of contrast.
​
I am honored to guide those who are experiencing periods of awakening during their practice, which can be amazing, disillusioning, or confusing. Often people will begin to experience new abilities, which we can explore using in psychotherapy.
​
I can provide teachings to effectively and sustainably use and expand your abilities and efficacy as a psychotherapist to aid in your journey and the healing of humanity.
​
To find out more about mentoring and supervision, email me.
By meeting virtually, I am able to supervise social workers and interns throughout Massachusetts, and I am able to mentor seekers around the country and beyond. Through the use of online platforms, we can easily come together from a distance and create powerful change within humanity and ourselves.

​​

Create more anxiety or panic
-
Create physical illnesses, pain, or fatigue
-
Cause self-doubt or imposter syndrome
-

-

​
We are often taught the exact opposite of self-compassion. There is enormous pressure to hide "weaknesses" and be the picture of "success", causing us to fall deeper into shame.
​
I am here to tell you that a spiritual journey will allow you to combine self-compassion with a fulfilling life regardless of the approval or validation of those around you.
