Hi! I’m Sara Gaarn-Larsen (She/Her). I offer individual, relationship, and sex therapy with the goal of helping clients to foster self-love, promote self-discovery, and strengthen their relationships.

I take a collaborative and systemic approach to therapy. This means that, together, we will explore the various sociocultural systems that have impacted you throughout your life and which continue to impact your relationships. Throughout this process, we will consider your past experiences through an attachment-based lens. Once we have uncovered the origins of your concerns, we can begin to address their immediate impact on you and your relationships.

I believe that bringing authenticity, humor, and transparency to my work is vital for creating a space where you feel supported and empowered to fully express yourself. You can always count on me to be candid about my thought-process in our sessions as we work as a team towards your goals. When working with couples and non-monogamous relationships, my role is not to judge or take sides, but to affirm the experience of all members while encouraging understanding and empathy.

As an LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, poly-friendly, and kink aware therapist, I welcome and provide a safe space for all identities and relationship styles. As a cancer-survivor, I am also passionate about working with clients experiencing or having experienced its impact on their sense of self and sexuality.

Every individual and relationship is unique and deserves therapy that caters to their specific goals and needs. I offer 15-minute consultations free of charge for any questions you may have about me and my process. I look forward to meeting you!
