"I don't have enough time."
What’s holding you back?
I will never ask you to complete more work than you feel you have space for in your life. How often and how long we see each other is something we can figure out together.
"I don't know what my goals are."
What’s holding you back?
That's okay! Your job is to be an expert on you. Let me be the expert on speech, language, attention, memory, planning...you get the picture. We'll work together to figure out what you need.
"I'm not sure you can help me. Therapy hasn't helped me before."
IS THIS YOU?
Many people I work with have been in therapy but haven't had the opportunity to really define their own goals and be a full partner in the therapy process. Or maybe you've never had therapy and aren't sure what it's like. I'm happy to have a phone or video consultation to help you decide if therapy is the right choice for you right now.
Hi, I’m Sarah
I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)--otherwise known as a "Speech Therapist." I became a therapist to help people find dignity, connection, confidence, independence, and enjoyment in whatever activities and relationships are important to them.
I get most excited when I work with people that are really committed to change and willing to use some mental toughness to do the hard work.
Let's tackle this together!
