Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Sara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boulder with a Master of Social Work from NYU. I work with adults who are healing from trauma, going through big life changes, or asking “wait, who am I actually?” My approach is collaborative, warm, and authentic, because healing doesn’t have to be basic. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and feel more at home in your life and your relationships.

My approach to therapy

I draw on CBT, ACT, psychodynamic work, and somatic (body-based) practices. In plain English, we’ll look at the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck, explore where they came from, and help your body learn what safety feels like, because stress and trauma live in the body as well as the mind. It’s a partnership, and you and your lived experience guide the pace.

What you can expect from me

In our first sessions, we’ll talk about what brought you in and what you’d like to change, and we’ll go at a pace that feels okay for you. You never have to share more than you’re ready to. I’ll be real with you, and I won’t just nod along. Expect practical tools you can use between sessions, space to say the hard things, and someone who is on your side. If you’re not sure therapy is for you yet, that’s okay. Book a session and we’ll figure it out together.
