​

Sarah primarily uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) through an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed lens, while also incorporating tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. This means therapy isn’t just about talking things through. It’s about helping your nervous system process experiences so they don’t keep showing up in the present. Sessions are tailored to you, your pace, and what you’re ready to work on. Sarah also draws from somatic techniques, ego state therapy, mindfulness, inner child work, narrative therapy, attachment theory, and skills from DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).

When you’re working with me, therapy is a safe space to slow down, feel supported, and work through life’s harder moments. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, big life changes, or the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy and parenthood, you don’t have to do it alone. Our work together is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on what feels most helpful for you.
