Somewhere along the way, many of us stop feeling at home in ourselves. We bend, shrink, and shape-shift to fit expectations, until one day, we hardly recognize the person we’ve become. I believe therapy is a space to find your way back. Hi! I’m Sarah, a psychotherapist at Hill Mental Health. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves. When we feel disconnected from who we truly are, it can manifest in many ways – chronic anxiety, depression, perfectionism, fear of judgement, and struggles with self-worth. So much of the distress we experience stems from internalized narratives that tell us we need to be more, better, or different in order to be accepted. My approach is rooted in narrative therapy, which means I help clients explore how past experiences have shaped their beliefs and sense of identity. But because healing looks different for everyone, I take an eclectic approach, integrating techniques like inner child work, values exploration, emotionally focused therapy, creative self-exploration through art techniques, and tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. My goal is to help you make sense of your experiences, reconnecting with your inner voice, and creating a life that feels more like your own. I often work with individuals who, at some point in their life, have been in relationships that left them feeling disconnected from themselves, questioning their self-worth, struggling with low confidence or finding it difficult to trust again. Many of my clients also navigate heightened anxiety, identity struggles, major life transitions, and emotional dysregulation. Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and finding the right fit is an essential part of the process that often gets overlooked. If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to book a free consultation – zero pressure, just a space to connect and see if this feels like a good match!
