Hi, and glad you’re here. I’m Sarah
If I had to guess, you’re here because you’ve been carrying more than your share—and doing it quietly. Not that anyone would know. You’re the one who keeps it together. You remember every birthday, give thoughtful advice, and keep family dinners from becoming dumpster fires.
You’re really damn good at helping people. You’ve turned helping into an art form - who else do you know that can figure out what someone needs before they even say anything? I know you’re an expert at saying “Sure.” “I’ve got it.” “No problem.”
But when’s the last time someone said they’ve got you? (I’ll wait.) The truth is…..saying “yes” to everyone and everything does not make you a better human. More resentful? Probably. Completely exhausted? Yep. But let me back up a minute.
I used to believe otherwise. I said yes to six jobs at once (no, that’s not a typo). I was so sure that if I kept showing up and kept saying yes, I would finally be a worthy human being. Until….I found myself sobbing in the middle of Ingles, wrecked from saying “yes” one too many times.
What I know now: I could not do it alone, and I couldn’t do it with the people closest to me. They were counting on me to stay the same. To say “yes.” To be “dependable.” To “keep the family together.” *Cue therapy.*
Something you should know: therapy is designed to focus on you, and no. one. else. (Scary thought, I know.) In our work together, we look at your needs (yes, you do indeed have them), and we bring more of you into your life. No more waving at your life from the sidelines.
I’m not here to nod politely and take notes. I’ll swear. I’ll cry. I’ll tell you “no” when it’s needed. This work is honest, vital, and something we’ll build together.
Your job is not to fit into tidy boxes in our work together. The experiences that are typically off the table are a top priority here. Death, dying, non-traditional relationships, grief? Bring it on in. The room is ready for you.
We aren’t designed to do this alone. You’ve spent a long time being the safe landing place for everyone else. Here, there’s a soft chair and a fierce, honest listener waiting for you. Come on in.
