WORK WITH ME

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • "When I came to Sarah, I was at a career crossroads, struggling to translate my broad skills into defined job descriptions after 7 years at a startup that scaled from 10 to 250 employees; Series D. I struggled with brain fog and difficulty articulating what I wanted. We focused on what made me happy, kept me healthy, and the parameters that would make me feel confident long-term, working backwards to create a plan. Without her, I wouldn't have had the confidence to take this risk - moving to a non-traditional opportunity that aligned incredibly with my interests and career aspirations. I couldn't be happier.”

    - VP Product Engineering, Climate Finance Consultancy

  • “I used to wake up feeling stressed 95% of the week. I felt stuck, unhappy and burned out. I was a top performer at work, always over-extended myself to friends and family, and I didn’t feel like I was ever enough. Working with Sarah helped me reduce my stress significantly! I went from working 50 - 60 hours a week, not singing or creating and feeling incredibly low, to working a healthy amount of hours on things that I love. The boundary, confidence, and life work we did helped me create my own business and start the process of creating an album in New York City. Pinch me I am dreaming!”

    Founder, Leadership Coach, Program Manager, Lyft

  • “Sarah’s an instrumental part of my mental health and foundational support system. Her personal and professional experience make her a safe haven for questions and complicated feelings as I work on relationships, and complex work situations. She’s helped me re-establish my professional confidence, she provides candid but kind observations, and tangible self-work exercises. Her approach is human first, and she quickly adapts to my needs in a session, pivoting when a personal topic triggers a connection to work (and vice versa). It’s wonderful to count on her, and I’m excited to keep working together as I contiually evolve.”

    - Ops & Program Strategy, New York Times

  • “Sarah’s freaking awesome, and my life has really improved since working together. I’m in a better emotional place, and I took the steps to move to a job that better aligned with my values. I’m now able to evaluate myself and my goals in a healthier, less judgmental way. It’s not just a venting session; she’s helped me incorporate practical actions into my daily life, along with the benchmarks to evaluate and see my progress everywhere.”

    - Founder / Digital Marketer, TGH Marketing

  • “I reached out to Sarah when I was facing a crossroads in my career. This is not an easy conversation to explore alone or with a partner or with a colleague. The objective perspective was crucial for me, and she helped me untangle the emotions, the benefits, the risks so I could make the decision that was right for me.”

    - VP, Partner Experience, Boulevard

  • "As someone ambitious, balancing a full-time role and building a business, Sarah helped me  refine my goals, find my voice, and clarify the vision for my work. Within two sessions, I could articulate what I’d been struggling with, separate emotion from strategy, and walk away with tangible actions I could use immediately. She’s a trusted thought-partner who listens without bias, encourages critical thinking, and brings clarity and focus. I’m so grateful for her guidance and ongoing support.”

    -Marnie Suss, Crisis Management Leader & Founder
