Therapy for trauma in Oregon and Washington
Compassionate, online therapy to help you feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again.
I’m Sarah, and I’m glad you’re here.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from yourself or others, you aren’t alone - and you don’t have to navigate it on your own. You might be living with anxiety that never fully turns off, carrying the effects of past trauma and struggling with self-doubt or emotional numbness. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to explain or minimize what you’re going through.
I offer online therapy for adults in the states of Oregon and Washington. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person work — and often more accessible for busy schedules, anxiety, or sensory needs.
I have a passion for helping people heal from complex interpersonal trauma (cPTSD), decrease anxiety, and improve their self-esteem. Before patients come to see me, they “feel bad” almost reflexively and frequently experience high anxiety. They are wracked with feelings of guilt, may be afraid of upsetting people and often over-extend themselves in the name of service to others. On the outside, my clients look like they have it together but internally they are just treading water. If that sounds familiar, you’ve come to the right place.
Counseling may be for you if:
You find it easier to focus on other’s emotions and needs than on your own.
You have difficulty experiencing emotions beyond an overwhelming sense of guilt, shame or just “feeling bad.”
You feel resentful that other people don’t work as hard as you, but are terrified to ask for what you want or need from others.
You are often anxious or tense; relaxation and rest feel nearly impossible.
You feel trapped by family pressures or relationships that refuse to evolve.
Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you. Instead, I focus on creating a safe, supportive space to explore what’s been weighing on you. I will help you understand how your past experiences have shaped your nervous system and support you to develop tools to feel more regulated, connected, and present in your own life.
I bring warmth, curiosity, and compassion into the therapy space, and I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship — because feeling safe and understood in relationships is where healing begins. You can learn more about my experience and expertise here.
