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.
