I help high-achieving, heart-centered adults break free from subconscious patterns, release self-doubt, and create deeply fulfilling relationships—with themselves and others.

Hi, I’m Sara. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut, and I work with teens, young adults, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship challenges.
I believe every human is on their own journey of growth, self-discovery, and healing. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. Together we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to explore your story while building the tools you need to move forward.
My approach is collaborative and flexible. I often use CBT, DBT, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and I tailor sessions to fit your individual needs. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and down to earth. I try to balance understanding with practical strategies that you can use in your daily life, whether that means finding ways to manage stress, communicate better, or feel more grounded.
Outside of therapy, I find balance and renewal in nature and the outdoors. That connection to growth and change in the natural world often inspires how I view the healing process in therapy.
If you’re ready to start or continue your journey, I’d be honored to support you in creating lasting growth and connection.

Hello! Starting therapy can feel daunting, but my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported right from the start. I believe each person’s journey is unique, so I tailor our work to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, or are unsure yet we’ll use approaches that fit you—not a “one-size-fits-all” plan. Sometimes this means using proven, structured methods; other times, we may explore creative tools that offer new ways to process and heal.

By actively listening and validating their experiences, I aim to empower them to confront and overcome the obstacles in their lives.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Bridgeport starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists may note experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, or trauma-informed care in their profile.
Bridgeport has a local therapist community, but in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Looking beyond nearby offices in areas like Black Rock, Downtown, and the East End can give you more options, and virtual appointments can expand access to licensed therapists across Connecticut. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Bridgeport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options in one place. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
