hey, high achiever--let's get real.
Licensed Therapy and Coaching Services
You’ve built success on the outside.
Now it’s time to feel that peace, clarity, and
joy on the inside.
Mental health support that meets you
where you are—and helps you rise.
Hi, I'm Dr. Sarah Vanessa
Therapist. Coach. Real human. And someone who gets it.
I work with high-achieving professionals who look like they have it all together—but inside, they’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and wondering if it’s always going to feel this hard.
Truth is? I’ve been there too. I’ve navigated my own mental health diagnosis, career burnout, and the pressure of being “on” all the time. That’s why I created a space where you can be fully human, fully seen, and fully supported—without any judgment.
I mix clinical expertise, coaching tools, and a whole lot of heart to help you release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying and step into a version of life that feels aligned, intentional, and free.
What I do
Therapy + Coaching that actually gets you somewhere.
This isn’t about endlessly processing the past (although we’ll totally honor it).
This is about moving forward—with clarity, purpose, and emotional freedom.
Here’s what we’ll work on together:
* Managing anxiety, stress, and mood in a way that’s sustainable
* Letting go of perfectionism, burnout, and pressure to be “the strong one”
* Rebuilding your confidence and reconnecting with your why
* Rewriting the stories that keep you stuck
* Learning to be wildly intentional with your energy, time, and goals
* Creating a life that feels as good as it looks
I’ll be your guide, your mirror, your support—and sometimes the gentle nudge you didn’t know you needed.
Who I work with
You’re ambitious. Passionate. Capable...People probably turn to you for advice. And yet…
-You’re constantly tired, even when you’re “resting”
-You feel like you should be happy, but something feels off
-You’re carrying emotional weight that doesn’t belong to you
-You know you’re meant for more, but you’re stuck in the same loop
You don’t need fixing—you just need a space to breathe, recalibrate, and realign.
I’ve got you.
