“Hope is that beautiful place between the way things were...and the way things are yet to be.”
If you are considering therapy, you have taken the first step toward making a positive change. It takes courage to seek support and talking with someone can help.
When we experience painful events, feel our life’s plan has been taken out of our control, and experience disconnect in our relationships with others, we can feel hopeless, alone and lost. However, I believe that, through life’s challenges, we can learn how strong we truly are. I work alongside individuals and couples to assist them with trauma, life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, fertility, reproductive loss, adoption, alternative family building (third party reproduction), and living child free lives. By working together, we can bring a deeper understanding of oneself, find clarity in the path that is right for you, and build secure and fulfilling relationships.
I am committed to joining you on your path and will provide a safe environment to explore the stresses and traumas impacting your life. Together, we will navigate these challenges in order to heal through gaining balance, compassion and acceptance. I believe every person has an inner strength that, at times, needs support to empower one to accept, learn and grow from the difficulties that life throws at us.
I hope to connect with you,
Sarah Borrego, Licensed Clinical Social Worker #25329
NOW ACCEPTING MEDICARE PLAN B
Trauma
Trauma negatively impacts daily life. Sometimes we don’t realize the true extent trauma is impacting our life. When you experience trauma, our bodies and minds are forced to protect us by shutting down or freezing that trauma inside you until you are able to process it. Trauma being trapped inside you results in symptoms such as depression, anxiety, panic, irritability, withdrawal, hypervigilance, nightmares, and more. These symptoms can cause us a great deal of suffering. My goal as a therapist is to help you heal from your suffering. Most every person in this world is suffering in one way or another. If you are ready to begin healing from your suffering, I hope you will reach out today.
Fertility & Reproductive Loss
When you experience challenges while on your journey to create a family, it may leave you feeling in limbo and uncertain about the future. A reproductive loss can often cause an overwhelming experience of emotions unlike any you’ve ever experienced. It can be intense and scary. You do not have to navigate this painful path alone. Let us work together to bring light, comfort and hope to your path.
Grief & Loss
Grief exists when we have loved deeply. When we lose a person we love, our world can feel as though it has been turned upside down. We can be walking through life in a daze or a fog, barely being able to put one foot in front of the other Feeling lost and alone is common during grief as is feeling a desperate need to make sense of your loss. Feeling as though you are being flooded by so many different emotions at once, you can’t possibly keep track, can leave us exhausted. If you are overwhelmed by your grief, you are not alone. Grief is a life long journey, one that will soften with time but never go away. Some choose to walk alone in their grief, while others need a support to walk alongside. I am here if you need someone to walk with you in your grief.
Alternative Family Building
You may be at a crossroads in your journey to create a family. Or you may have always welcomed the idea of growing a family through alternative options. Alternative family building can leave us with an immense amount of unanswered questions and a multitude of mixed emotions. No matter what reason brought you to alternative family building, you do not have to navigate this path alone.
Living a Child Free Life
When one moves on a path of living a childfree life, often it is fraught with immense emotion and grief. Struggling with infertility and facing a life without children, can be emotionally overwhelming. You do not have to be alone on this emotional journey, we can walk together through your grief and loss to embrace a valued life with joy and happiness.
