Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m delighted you’re here!
I am a skilled and sought after clinical social worker. I have my masters degree in social work and have been working with children, adolescents and families for over 16 years. One of my favorite parts of this work is forming supportive, helpful relationships with clients as we navigate life’s challenges and transitions together. I have an eclectic approach to treatment, meaning that I believe there is no one way to heal and grow. I enjoy sharing ideas and resources with clients. This can include Psychodynamic Therapy (PDT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), working with family members, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, Reiki healing, collaborating with other professionals to support clients in their care - and so much more!
Currently, my work is focused on parents in the perinatal phase of parenthood, as well as adults navigating transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting and couples work. I am proud to be the Treasurer for the MA Chapter of Postpartum Support International.
I identify as a cis, white, heterosexual female and use she/her pronouns. I am committed to my anti-racism journey. I acknowledge my white privilege and all that comes with it. I am an aspiring gardener, runner and live in the Boston suburbs with my husband, 2 children and rescue pup.
My favorite metaphor....
After each birth of my two babies, I felt like things were out of control. Like I was a lump of clay, the same clay as before, but that I had now been plopped on a potter’s wheel and life was spinning me faster and faster. What was happening? When might the wheel slow down and what would the clay look like then? I was being molded into something that would serve me better for this new chapter, a newly shaped hunk of clay. Motherhood was creating something that had never been made before. A new version of myself.
I love the metaphor of clay. Life molds us into new versions of ourselves all the time. Sometimes we pay attention and other times we don’t notice the changes at all. Sometimes we might even be the potter or sculptor taking control of a situation and sculpting it into what we want! Life shapes us - over and over. Nearly everything in life leaves its impression on us, like hand prints on a piece of clay. Parenthood, loss, graduations, career changes, family struggles, you name it. There is so much beauty in the molding.
