Meet Sarah – Online Therapist Supporting Women Navigating Cancer Recovery, Chronic Illness & Life Reinvention
For years, Sarah thrived in the fast-paced world of the music industry, where ambition often masked burnout. But everything changed after a life-altering diagnosis—and the question shifted from what's next? to what really matters?
Her answer led her to this work.
Today, Sarah helps women breathe again—especially those navigating chronic illness, midlife shifts, neurodivergence, grief, and the invisible load of caregiving and reinvention. With both clinical expertise and lived experience, she offers a grounded, compassionate space where you can heal without pressure and reconnect with yourself.
Because you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a space where you can be.

- Somatic therapy for trauma, chronic illness, and nervous system healing
- Online cancer support therapy for individuals navigating diagnosis, treatment, and recovery
- Burnout recovery and midlife transitions, including career shifts and identity reinvention
- Emotional support for grief and complex family dynamics

Behind the Bio: The Human Behind the Therapist
(Because yes, therapists are humans too—coffee-loving, podcast-bingeing, deep-feeling humans!)
A Comfort Food Favorite: Chips in all their glorious forms—All Dressed, BBQ, Ketchup, or just plain classic!
A Highly Recommended Read: The Second Mountain by David Brooks (perfect for career or life transitions), All Fours by Miranda July, Dune by Frank Herbert (or just watch Dune 2!), and for fierce female inspiration, The Women by Kristin Hannah.
A Go-To Way to Unwind: Yin yoga with a sound bath for an extra nervous system reset.
