I'm Sarah, a Therapist in Walnut Creek for People Pleasers and Overworkers

I help busy professionals hit the pause button so they can reassess and re-discover themselves in the midst of a world that values doing over being and giving over receiving. My clients are often hard-working and successful professionals who have a hard time making room for much outside work. 

In therapy, I will help you learn all about why you do the things you do, both from an intellectual perspective and a body-based one, and I will also teach you the skills you need to set the parameters of your life, so that you can feel good about saying yes when you mean it, and great about saying NO.
