I value being active and engaged in the community. I've had the opportunity to speak with exercise groups, schools, and parent groups about the mental load of mothering, childhood anxiety, and grief and loss.
As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working with families, I appreciate opportunities to share information about topics that are meaningful to parents and caregivers.

Topics I've Shared With Community Groups
My professional experience and involvement in the community have given me opportunities to speak about experiences that affect mothers, children, and families.
I recognize that topics related to parenting and mental health can bring up different questions depending on a family's circumstances.
When speaking with a group, I value being able to share my professional perspective while recognizing that everyone brings their own experiences to the conversation.
You can learn more about my experience as a clinician and a mom on my About Sarah page.
The Mental Load of Mothering
Being a mom involves more than the responsibilities others can see. There's also the ongoing mental work of remembering, planning, organizing, and thinking ahead for your family.
I've spoken with community groups about the mental load of mothering and the responsibilities parents often carry alongside their everyday routines.
It's a topic that can resonate with mothers balancing caregiving, relationships, work, and other responsibilities.
I value opportunities to acknowledge these experiences and encourage conversations about the demands of motherhood without assuming that every parent faces the same challenges.

Childhood Anxiety, Grief, and Loss
I've also had opportunities to speak about childhood anxiety, grief, and loss.
These subjects can bring up questions for parents and caregivers who are trying to understand experiences that may be difficult for children and families.
My background in social work and my experience working with families have helped shape the perspective I bring to these discussions.
I recognize that anxiety, grief, and loss can affect families in different ways. When speaking about these topics, I value sharing information in a way that acknowledges those differences and leaves room for thoughtful conversation.
