My goal is to help you find meaning in your struggles and empower you to lead a more connected and fulfilling life. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals better understand themselves, build authentic relationships, and create lives that feel supported and aligned with their values. My approach is warm, direct, and engaging, grounded in the belief that a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change.
Our work will unravel the assumptions and patterns that undermine your capacity to create the love and work life that you desire. I strive to create a space where my clients can make choices that are authentic, meaningful, and life-enhancing. I combine a warm and intuitive approach to help you find the solutions that will bring you fulfillment and a sense of clarity. I view therapy as a supportive space to explore your goals, identify unhealthy patterns and develop the strength to make changes.
Throughout my career I have helped individuals struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, identity-development, burnout and feeling stuck. I also support founders and entrepreneurs achieve their goals, balance the demands of their ambitions while developing a healthy and meaningful personal life.
My therapeutic style is centered around respect and empathy. At the core of my work is a deep respect for your unique experiences and a commitment to helping you alleviate pain, understand your emotions, and transform how you relate to yourself and others.
“While change can feel daunting, staying stuck can feel just as overwhelming. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.
Together, we’ll create a path toward greater self-awareness, stronger relationships, and a more confident and connected life.”
— Dr. Sarai
