I believe seeking understanding of our inner world in a safe, serene, and soothing shared space can help one build compassion, resilience, clarity, flexibility, and presence. In my practice, I do this through witnessing the persons' experience with non-judgmental care and using skills from a well of varied resources that resonate uniquely with the client.

Sara Thomson, BA, CADC
A lot of times in the world of therapy we say we will meet the client "where they are at", in my work I like to meet the client "where they dream". I believe that all people are capable of some change, and that we don't have to remain in our unhealthy patterns of behavior just because it's what we know. I want to help clients meet their goals, and process through the barriers that keep them "stuck".
