Great to meet you!

Hi, my name is Sara and I am a LMFT. I have worked with a diverse population including many couples, families, and those struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Substance Abuse Concerns. Similar to EMDR, I am Certified in Brainspotting which helps with trauma and more.

After a majority of my career spent working in Substance Abuse, I moved onto private practice and found that this is where I belong. I love working with others one on one in a supportive and compassionate setting.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is warm and inviting. I am client centered and truly believe in meeting each client where they are. Together, we will work to find the source of your feelings and symptoms and develop strategies to decrease them so you can start living a more fulfilling and joyful life.

I strive to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe and heard. I am here for you as a trusted partner that you can confide in, but one who will also challenge you and help you grow with each session.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and develop strategies that can help.

While everyone is unique, I've found that my clients typically start showing progress after only the first few sessions together. My goal is to ensure that every client knows treatment goals and plans by the second session in order for them to gain hope for the future knowing there is a way.
