Hi! I’m Sarah. I’m so glad you are here.

I am grateful for the stories that dream us, especially the ones that dream us together.

As a young child, I was given a book by my mother called the ‘caretakers of wonder.’ Like the ones in the story that buttoned up the sky and mended tattered clouds, the dreaming of what kind of caretaker I could be brought a sense of peace and purpose to my shy and quiet childhood self. Then and now, I come to this work as a deep listener of story – the story beneath the story – of those who feel invisible or lost, the misfits and rebels, the orphans and outsiders, the shunned or exiled, and those who struggle to live life safely in their own bodies.

In 2001, I started out my professional path as a home visitor listening to the stories of the very young. I was fascinated by how babies form bonds, not just with their caregivers, but with the wider world and beyond. As a researcher, too, I spent hours upon hours watching babies ‘being.’ And grew curious about how early experiences of relationships come to shape our life stories. In 2007 I moved to London to study developmental psychology at the Anna Freud Centre, and soon after, started on my clinical journey as a therapist, working in early education and community mental health spaces in Seattle.

I hold a Master’s of Science in Psychodynamic Developmental Neuroscience from University College London and the Anna Freud Centre and a Graduate Certificate in Infant Mental Health from the Barnard Center at the University of Washington. My approach as a therapist is woven from the fields of depth psychology, ecotherapy, attachment theory, neuroscience, and spiritual traditions remembered.
