About Sarai

I was born in Los Angeles, California, but spent much of my childhood in El Salvador, where I was raised until the age of 11. When my family moved to Oregon, adjusting to life in the United States again came with its challenges. Looking back, however, I am grateful for that journey and proud to call Oregon home.

I am the mother of two strong-willed children who continually challenge my perspective, expand my understanding of the world, and teach me lessons that are difficult to put into words. My family is also multicultural, as my husband is originally from Mexico, which has enriched our lives with diverse traditions, experiences, and perspectives.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy staying active and am a member of my church choir, where I find both community and joy.

I am also personally familiar with the challenges of living with anxiety. My own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of what it means to coexist with anxiety and navigate its impact on daily life. This perspective allows me to approach others with empathy, compassion, and an appreciation for the courage it takes to seek support.
