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.
Neuroaffirming Couples Therapy
When you love each other, but you have a different neurotype from your partner, it can feel like you're having the same conversation on repeat, only to realize afterward that you each walked away with two completely different realities of what just happened.
Neurodivergent and cross-neurotype couples therapy offers a map: one that helps you understand how ADHD, autism, or AuDHD shapes the way each of you communicates, argues, and connects, so you stop filling in the blanks with the worst possible interpretation.
Ready to build a relationship that holds both of your complexities with care?
