English speaking 

Sarah Herring is a licensed psychotherapist from California, specializing in holistic, attachment-based therapy. She is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Her approach is grounded in an attachment lens, which helps clients understand their emotional experiences and relational patterns, fostering meaningful connections and healing.

With her certification as a registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 200) since 2013, Sarah integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness into her therapy sessions. This combination empowers clients to deepen their understanding of emotional experiences and strengthen their mind-body connection

Trained in EMDR, Sarah utilizes this effective trauma model to help individuals process both past and recent traumatic experiences. EMDR’s structured approach, which involves bilateral stimulation, allows clients to reprocess distressing memories, ultimately alleviating symptoms and promoting healing in their present lives.

Being a mother of two, Sarah understands the specific challenges that parenthood can introduce to romantic relationships. She is dedicated to addressing underlying emotional issues within families to foster deeper connections and improve communication among all members. After training in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Sarah is well-equipped to provide comprehensive support for families while creating a safe and warm environment for them to be vulnerable and discuss challenging topics.

Having gained valuable experience working with bi-cultural couples, Sarah is particularly sensitive to the intricacies of navigating relationships across different cultures. Her own experience as an American in a partnership with a Swedish individual allows her to uniquely support clients facing similar cultural dynamics.

For those seeking a more intensive therapeutic experience, Sarah offers EFT intensives—immersive workshops lasting three days and totaling up to 10 hours. These sessions are designed to fast-track relational healing and are ideal for couples looking to make significant changes in a short period. This format is especially beneficial for those who feel the urgency to change things quickly, face increasing distress or distance, have difficulty maintaining weekly appointments, feel stalled in their progress, need to address root issues, require more anonymity than their location allows, or find relief in the idea of getting away together.

With extensive training in EFT and EMDR, Sarah combines expertise and enthusiasm to guide clients through past traumas and current relational challenges. She looks forward to supporting clients on their path to well-being; feel free to reach out to discuss how you and Sarah can work together to create meaningful change in your life
