Hi, I’m Sarah.
I am a licensed therapist, author, doula, yoga teacher, wife, and mother. I help people become who they needed when they were younger and trust the power of attachment on their healing and motherhood journeys.
I specialize in addiction, trauma, and relationships as a therapist and attachment-informed postpartum support as a doula. I’ve written a book about healing the symptoms of trauma from the root called The Internal Family Systems Workbook for CPTSD: An Integrative, Parts-Work Approach to Healing Complex Trauma. I write about matrescence, cycle breaking, and attachment on my popular Instagram account and Substack journal, Heirloom. Through my counseling practice Heirloom Counseling and Consultation, LLC, I offer workshops, courses, groups, and therapy for parentified daughters, mothers, couples, and families who are healing with the next generation in mind.
Apart from my professional work, I know what it's like to walk the nonlinear path of trauma and addiction recovery. My lived experience has helped me stay passionate and perennially curious in my work. I am always trying to learn from what life is trying to teach me and move into what my inner world is opening for revelation and integration.
I consider it an honor to write about these poignant subjects and support people as they heal, mother, and become.
