San Francisco Therapist for Highly Sensitive Women & Couples
Individual & Couples Therapy for Reconnecting with Yourself and Each Other
Hi, I’m Sarah (she, her), LMFT, based in San Francisco
Sessions available via telehealth throughout California, with limited in-person availability in San Francisco.
I help sensitive, thoughtful people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected come back to themselves so they can feel safe in their bodies, clear in their minds, and steady in their relationships.
I work with individuals and couples, both in-person and online, offering compassionate support for highly sensitive, neurodivergent people, adult children of alcoholics, trauma recovery, and complex family dynamics.
While my practice is called Bay Area Women’s Psychotherapy, I warmly welcome and affirm people of all genders, including nonbinary, trans, and gender-expansive people.
For Individuals
You've always thought about things differently: longer, deeper, and with more complexity than the people around you, and you've probably always known that's both a gift and a burden. People describe you as calm while your nervous system feels like it's sprinting, and somewhere along the way, that started to cost you.
You've been praised, even celebrated, for how much you take on, how capable you are. But your jaw is tight five hours into a day you don't remember clenching it, and your relationships never quite feel reciprocal, no matter how much you give to them.
You've been told it's anxiety, and everyone has anxiety. "Anxiety" never felt like it captured the whole picture.
Couples Therapy
Lately, even the small stuff turns into misunderstandings—or silence. You love each other, but it feels like you’re speaking different languages. Miscommunication, frustration, and distance have created patterns that feel hard to break.
Couples therapy offers a compassionate space to untangle what’s keeping you stuck, rebuild your bond, and create a relationship that feels strong, safe, and connected.
