Who Sara works with

Many of Sara's clients are medical trainees, such as residents. She also works with physicians facing burnout, anxiety, depression symptoms or imposter syndrome. She starts from where each client is and works toward the goals that client sets.

How Sara works

Sara uses private one-on-one sessions over Zoom, each 30 minutes long. Her coaching includes reframing thoughts and looking closely at the actions that come from those thoughts. She blends life coach training with her experience as a resident and chief. As a family medicine doctor, she also helps clients build realistic and approachable behavior changes. Goals are set by the client, not by a set program.
