“The intimacy that arises in listening and speaking truth is only possible if we can open to the vulnerability of our own hearts. Breathing in, contacting the life that is right here, is our first step. Once we have held ourselves with kindness, we can touch others in a vital and healing way.”
― Tara Brach, True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart

Sara Lorello (she/her), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who believes there is a resilience of spirit within each of us. My task is to highlight that and give it strength. I work with clients to help them see their own unique ability to surpass life’s inevitable challenges. As a respectful collaborator, I use gentle curiosity to get to the root of thoughts, behaviors and emotions that may no longer be serving you.
I am interested in working with folks in the parenting role, notably in the early days of parenthood. I also work on couples issues, intuitive eating and body acceptance, stress reduction and increased mindfulness. I use Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion and Mindfulness approaches, often a combination of these in my clinical work. I am a cat and ocean lover.

- Individual and Couples, ages 18+
- Folks experiencing: anxiety, depression, PTSD, mild/moderate disordered eating, or postpartum or parenting issues.
