Sara's Hopes:

In providing group therapy, I’m hoping that it can provide a therapeutic space for clients within the LGBTQIA+ community to feel a sense of belonging within a safe, comfortable, and non-judgemental environment. 

In my 10+ years of experience in working with clients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, one of the most common themes I hear is not having a felt sense of belonging, and how that lack of sense of belonging impacts one  physically, emotionally, and mentally.

 Lastly, I hope that this therapeutic space provides individuals the felt safety to show up authentically, as and who they are.

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen”-Brené Brown
