Snapdragon Psychology

About
I'm Sarah, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, California. I started Snapdragon because I genuinely love helping people move toward greater meaning and purpose in their lives through individual and couple therapy as well as helping mental health providers maximize their ability provide high quality therapy and clinical supervision.

Services
Individual Therapy
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hopeless, therapy can be a place to begin taking steps toward the life you want to be living. I love working with people who are genuinely seeking something different in their lives. Challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, and relationship difficulties are all great targets for therapy. I also provide specialized treatments for sleep difficulties and chronic pain. My style is warm, authentic, and collaborative and I only utilize modern, evidence-based therapies.
Couple Therapy
While relationships can be one of life's greatest joys, they can also lead to some of our most painful moments. I provide Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) for couples looking to build upon the existing strengths in their relationship and work through points of contention to develop a more workable, connected way of being together. As a therapist, my goal is to help you express yourselves effectively, solve challenges that arise in your relationship, and move toward greater connection.
Clinical Supervision and Consultation
Wouldn't it be nice if you could simply read a book or attend a CE and learn to provide evidence-based treatment with fidelity? And yet, all mental health providers know that learning new interventions takes time, dedication, and compassionate guidance. I provide supervision for trainees and consultation for mental health professionals across disciplines who are interested in learning or refining their practice in treatments like ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT, PE, or clinical supervision.
Workshops and Trainings
I really enjoy introducing people to topics I'm passionate about. I conduct workshops and trainings on topics like Evidence-Based Best Practices in Clinical Supervision, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Lessons for Leadership. My trainings are grounded in the evidence base and prioritize experiential, interactive learning, so that you can go beyond simply understanding the basics to being able to implement new skills effectively.
