I have a particular feel for the wildness of creativity as it unfurls uniquely through our lives… I love supporting people to free their creative brilliance!!

Hello and welcome.

My name is Sarah.

I am grateful to support others to uncover more freedom, joy and self-empowerment in their lives.

I started my professional journey at New York University School of Social Work and in my private practice as a psychotherapist. Soon after, I encountered the heart-opening world of Clown and began leading Clown and Improvisation workshops based in Carl Rogers’ person-centered approach to psychotherapy, affirming the power of creativity and playfulness to transform and heal our lives.

There is no one path to happiness. I am no stranger to inner turmoil and heartbreak. The most rewarding part of my life is applying creativity to challenges and growing into a more complete version of myself. Several things sustain me! Firstly, I’ve had the good fortune of working with wonderful teachers and as a result of casting a wide net have acquired a full arsenal of tools and techniques, both analytic and alternative. Early on, I also committed myself to using my own experience as a kind of laboratory, dedicating myself to thinking about life creatively and making discoveries that have nurtured my own sense of freedom, joy and well-being.

Because we are each so unique, I believe that healing and therapies must be tailored to our unique stories. My work with individuals and groups now combines a dynamic, intuitive and improvisational interplay of diverse wisdom traditions with the insights of the here and now to best support you to discover your own spontaneous wisdom, facilitate actual change, and create your most fulfilling life!!

  • In 2006, I earned a Masters in Clinical Social Work from New York University, began a private psychotherapy practice and pursued analytic training at Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center, in NYC.

    Selected additional training :

    In 2021, I completed a 300-hour certification program in Ayurvedic medicine to learn about the interplay of breath, wellness and joy.

    In 2020, I completed the Feminine Power Facilitation Mastery Program with esteemed Life Coach Claire Zammit, with a focus on group therapeutic processes.

    In 2000 I became empowered as a Reiki Master in the Usui System. In 2016, I received my empowerment as a Shamanic Reiki Master from Llyn Roberts, the founder of Shamanic Reiki Worldwide and an acclaimed teacher of earth-based healing and shamanism.

    In 2014, under the guidance of shamanic dream teacher Robert Moss, I began a study of Active Dreaming and its applications to individual and group therapy.

    I am certified in Akashic Records Reading with Lisa Barnett, founder of the Akashic Knowing School of Wisdom.

    I am a certified ninth level practitioner of Magical Awakening, a lively form of Celtic Shamanism, having received my empowerment from its founder, author, healer and Reiki Master Brett Bevel.

    Since 2012, I have facilitated Clown and Improvisation workshops based in Carl Rogers’ person-centered approach to psychotherapy, affirming the power of creativity and playfulness to transform and heal our lives. In 2012, I began teaching Clown with Vivian Gladwell, internationally recognized founder of Nose to Nose - International Clowning Workshops.

    Simultaneous to pursuing my degree in Clinical Social Work and studying psychoanalysis, I became certified in multiple forms of energy healing with healer-teacher Sirriya Din, with an emphasis on Morphic Awakening, a cutting edge system of energetic healing and transformation created by Din.

    Most recently, I certified in The New Biology, founded by renowned alternative medicine doctor Tom Cowan, again widening my perspective on holistic approaches to health and wellness, with a focus on empowering individuals to take control of their well-being.
