Sarah Kosterlitz
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Graduate Social Worker
I embrace an anti-oppressive and non-judgmental approach to therapy. I enjoy working with adoptees, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ identifying individuals.
Hello! I am a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) with a master’s degree from Augsburg University. I believes each person is "the expert" of their own life and I identify as a guide and support during my clients’ healing journeys. I value creating a warm and safe environment while each client works towards their goals. I have experience working with clients struggling with life transitions, grief and loss, adoption trauma and identity, as well as racial and gender identity formation. In my free time, I love learning languages (Tagalog, Thai, and Indonesian) and spending time with my cat!
