Sara Povey (she/her)
You're doing it all - online yoga classes, meal-prepping, killing it at work, and making the best sourdough on this side of the Colorado River. But when you hit the pillow at night - there's a loneliness, a deep dissatisfaction, anxiety, a stirring discontentment. On the surface, you've got your shit together, but deep down - your life is being hijacked by your self-judgment, anxiety, negative beliefs, and the inner saboteur. Are you ready to get out of your own way so that you can finally enjoy relationships, work, and family? Your heart wants to be held and we were never meant to do this alone.

My Approach
As a first-generation, British and Egyptian woman, I understand what it’s like to live in the in-between of two cultures, not feeling like you belong in either. I also know the journey of finding home in yourself, and how powerful it can be to connect to your roots, your lineage, and your values while deeply honoring your unique branch of the family tree.
My work is deeply grounded in neuro and attachment science. I work from a body-oriented framework and am trained in IFS and EMDR for anxiety, self-esteem, and healing trauma. I work with women and couples, empowering them to live fulfilling and connected lives, abundant with joy.
My mission is to provide safe container, a cocoon for you to drop into the places that you may never have encountered before, to explore anything you want - without shame, or judgment. And I will challenge you and hold up the mirror so that you can see your beautiful, whole self. Therapy is a space that we create together. It’s a place where you can come, take off the masks, exhale, and have a new experience of yourself.
