Hello, my name is Sara. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile and see if we are a therapeutic fit. I am dual licensed clinician in Washington State and am able to work with both mental health and substance use disorders. I work with all ages and demographics to create a supportive environment where you can learn to grow and heal.
As a licensed therapist in Washington, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping teens, young adults, and women work through challenging experiences, including trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for those struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, and body image concerns. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I'm committed to creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop resilience. Whether you're processing difficult life transitions, recovering from traumatic experiences, or seeking to understand yourself more deeply, I'm here to support your path toward healing and self-discovery. Drawing from trauma-informed practices, I work collaboratively with clients to build meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. My goal is to empower you to reconnect with your inner strength and move toward the life you envision. Some things you should know about me: I would describe myself as a more "laid-back" therapist and do believe that clients should be behind the steering wheel during their sessions but I will hold you accountable and be straightforward when needed. I also live in a home with several dogs as my passion in life is training and showing dogs and so you will most likely hear/see animals during your video or phone sessions, please be aware of this when scheduling with me!
Your first session will revolve around getting to know you and who you are as person. This will include talking in depth about your symptoms and mental health history along with family history, relationships, and other basic demographic information. We will discuss what your treatment goals are and how to achieve those.
