Help when you need it
Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be one of the most incredible times in life, and often, and sometimes simultaneously, it can bring big challenges, as well. Having experienced challenges during pregnancy myself, I understand how it feels to have a pregnancy look and feel different than you may have hopes, envisioned, or expected. There is help for women experiencing a wide array of issues surrounding pregnancy, including anxiety and trauma.
Postpartum
Massive life changes accompany becoming a mother or expanding your family if you already are a mother. To use a cliche that I don’t think can be overused: Nothing can prepare you. It’s true! And processing thoughts and emotions surrounding these changes can clear your mental and emotional space so you can feel better and be the mother you want to be. These precious moments pass and what happens during them matters. I want to help you enjoy them, maintain your wellness and quality of life in the process, and feel empowered as you ease into your mother or mother to more.
Parenting
The context in which we each grow up, our relationships with our primary caretakers, and the experiences we each have with our parents deeply and profoundly shape each of us. Few things are more meaningful to me than helping parents improve the quality of care they are able to give their children, the quality of their parenting experiences, and the individual help they can give their children during specific developmental windows when children need help the most.
My Philosophy
Children need love, support, warmth, and guidance, and parents very much want to give their kids these things — and more.
But differing personality types, challenging logistical situations, and confusion about what is “right” parenting are just a few examples of things that can get in the way.
What happens during early childhood hugely influences who we become and how we get there. It shapes the lens through which the person views the world (and themselves!).
If your family is experiencing bumps that feel too intense or seem like they’ve been going on for too long, finding and addressing the root cause can alleviate loads of stress.
Whether it’s a tiny tweak, a deep dive, or something in the middle that you need, finding and addressing this root cause can be one of the most beautiful (and empowering!) gifts you can give your child.
Past clients say...
“The challenges caused by my divorce included my little daughter who is nine years old. I felt helpless and was looking for counseling for my child. What Sarah provided was so much more. Her concepts were simple and doable, yet smart and scientific, and she taught them to me so I can continue to use them to benefit my child on an ongoing basis.
Parent coaching with Sarah has given me a whole new toolset for interacting with my daughter - and frankly, also, with life. In just a few short sessions, I learned so much about what led to the divorce, what I needed to learn from it, how to be an empowered, yet empowering parent, how to communicate better, and how to effect positive change in my child. I am deeply grateful and would endorse Sarah’s services to all parents who are looking to continually better themselves for their children and for themselves.”
