"Tell me, what is it you plan to do / with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver, Summer Day

“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”

- Mary Oliver

Well hello! My name is Sarah Zamiska Dover and my pronouns are she and her. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual and family psychotherapy in both Oregon and California.

Why did I start my site with a Mary Oliver quote? If you’re unfamiliar with much of Oliver’s work, her words resonate with many of the goals I often find my clients working towards in therapy: self-discovery, healing, and encouraging mindfulness and intentionality in their lives. Oliver’s poetry often touches on themes of grief, loss, and recovery, providing a gentle and yet profound perspective on healing. Her work can inspire us all to find strength within ourselves and embrace our journeys.

In the heart-work of therapy, we will cultivate a space that reminds you that you are enough, you are worthy, and that you are part of a larger, interconnected whole. I am grateful that you are here and I look forward to sharing space with you!

I’m so glad you’re here!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a personalized and collaborative approach in therapy that focuses on developing strong, trusting relationships with my clients. I utilize a strength-based, non-judgmental style to provide a safe space for my clients to explore, heal, and grow. I received my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco in 2016. I have learned and experienced profound growth (both professionally and personally) while working alongside and supporting clients in spaces filled with grief, trauma and crisis, depression and anxiety, chronic stress, and relational problems. I have worked both in a clinic setting and within the community.

When I am not a therapist, I am a wife, a mother raising two young children, and an avid crafter. I am a West Coast native, having spent a significant portion of my life living and learning in Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area. I continued my affection for Oregon after attending the University of Oregon for my bachelor’s degree and moved here with my family in 2021. I pride myself in creating a space that encourages connection, introspection, and growth. I look forward to meeting you and hope we can work together to create the lasting change you are seeking.
