Sarah Mitchell spent seven years as a therapist specializing in anxiety and life transitions before turning to writing to reach more people. Her books translate psychological research into practical strategies for readers who are overwhelmed, exhausted, and skeptical of self-help that ignores real-world constraints. She believes in the radical idea that you're not broken?you're just human, living in a world that asks too much. Sarah holds a master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Minnesota. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband Ben, their two kids, and a rescue dog named Biscuit who has never once reduced her stress levels.
