My Approach

Grounded in compassion and collaboration and focusing on empowering you.

I often utilize a psychodynamic or attachment lens when working with clients to develop a deeper understanding of why they feel the way they do and offer new strategies for better coping within their lives today.

I also integrate additional therapeutic approaches as appropriate for each client including CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques. I’m a certified Sexual Assault Crisis Counselor, and have received training in Advanced Perinatal Mental Health.

"Working with Sara has been life-changing. Her empathetic approach and deep understanding helped us rebuild our relationship."

Support

My specialities include addressing Trauma & PTSD, Anxiety, and Perinatal.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families, including parents experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety. I also have experience supporting clients after sexual assault or abuse. My focus is not limited to those listed below.
