I’ve always believed that when people finally get to live as who they actually are, life opens up. That belief is what sparked Transitions Therapy LLC; an affirming, accessible space where transition and identity isn’t something to hide or minimize, but something to build, explore, and reclaim.

Let’s be real: the last few years have been.. A LOT. People are stretched thin, struggling quietly, and trying to make sense of experiences that don’t match what everyone else seems to expect of them. And on top of all that; starting therapy usually feels intimidating as hell. You’re sitting with thoughts that feel too big or too vulnerable to share with friends, and you’re hoping that some stranger you found on the internet might actually get it.

Hi. I’m that stranger.
A licensed mental health professional who actually wants to help you make sense of the mess, the magic, and everything in between.

I could wow you with all my trainings and credentials, but honestly, most people don’t come to a therapist’s website for a dissertation. What matters is this: At the core of my work is identity; whether it’s gender, relationships, or the big life shifts that change how you understand yourself. Since 2018, I’ve also trained other clinicians so they can stop doing accidental harm and start creating genuinely affirming spaces for TGD folks.

My approach is a blend of compassionate curiosity, humor, and real respect. I’ve been on the therapy couch, too, so I know how awful it feels to sit with someone so blank or clinical that you start editing yourself to fit the room. That’s not what we’re doing here.

With me, all parts of you get to show up; the loud, the quiet, the confused, the brave, the exhausted, the hopeful. You’re not a problem to fix; you’re a whole human who deserves a space where being yourself is actually allowed.

I primarily offer sessions via telehealth, which makes it possible for you to get help from the comfort of your couch, your car, or wherever you can find a decent WiFi signal. In person sessions are available in West Hartford on Thursdays.

If you’re ready to explore what that could feel like, I’m here.
Call 860-884-8372, or email me at sarah@transitionstherapyllc.com and we’ll see if we’re a good fit.

If you’re not ready yet, no pressure! Bookmark this site, come back when it feels possible. I’ll still be here, doing the work.
