Meet Sarah
The therapist who actually gets it — because she's been it.
I'm Sarah — Licensed Professional Counselor, recovering over-achiever, and unofficial group chat therapist. I built Sessions of Solace for the women who can run a room, close a deal, or hold a family together… and quietly wonder when it will be their turn to be poured into.
My work sits at the intersection of clinical care and real talk. Think evidence-based therapy, delivered with the warmth of a Sunday brunch with your favorite cousin. Just a space that finally feels like yours.
