Sarah Barnard, LCSW

You are probably looking for a therapist because something hurts. It could be a feeling of constant anxiety-racing thoughts, tight muscles, startling easily and worrying about seemingly everything, all at once. Maybe something intense happened to you or someone in your life and you are struggling to stop thinking about it or experiencing intrusive images out of nowhere, making your world smaller as your try your best to cope. We can work together to make this better and help you get out of survival mode and into living in the present. I am a very relational and friendly therapist; I think it's so important for you to feel safe and seen as a human and sometimes that might include the healing balm of humor. I specialize in EMDR and sprinkle in elements of Internal Family Systems, somatic and mindfulness techniques to help clients get past their past. How could we not be anxious and unsure right now? There are some things we can't "fix" in therapy, but we can learn to better cope and increase your ability to tolerate uncertainty. I know it's hard or even awkward to reach out to a therapist, I hope I can make it a little easier.
