Hi, my name is Sara! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience working alongside individuals as they navigate their mental health journeys.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University. With over 10 years of experience, I support individuals in managing anxiety, navigating depression, and healing from past trauma.

My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a spiritually grounded perspective. While therapy is rooted in clinical skill, I also create space for deeper connection—often integrating spiritual awareness into the work for those who are open to it. I believe healing is not just mental, but also deeply internal and, at times, spiritual.

Hello! I’m Sabrina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health and life changes. My journey in this field began with a Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Saint Francis, followed by a Master of Social Work from IUPUI, and specialized counseling training at Marian University.

In my practice, Cardinal Rising, I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. I bring a warm, down-to-earth approach to our sessions, often incorporating creative problem-solving to help you see your challenges through a new lens. While I provide a safe space to process your emotions, I am also deeply solution-oriented; we won’t just talk about the 'why'—we will work together on the 'how' to help you move forward.

I specialize in supporting clients through:

• Anxiety and Life Transitions: Navigating the 'what's next' with confidence.
• Crisis Intervention & Safety Planning: I am specifically trained in the CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality) framework.
• School-Based Concerns & Family Dynamics: Drawing on my extensive background in school-based therapy.

Whether you are looking to break old patterns or simply need a supportive space to catch your breath, I am here to help you rise to your next chapter. I look forward to working with you!"

I help adults break free from the weight of trauma and rebuild a sense of strength, clarity, and control. My background includes working in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and university settings, where I supported people facing trauma, crisis, and complex emotional struggles. I’ve run trauma processing groups for sexual assault survivors, provided therapy in a hospital program for teens and adults, and completed psychological evaluations for adults and older adults. These experiences shaped my calm, steady, trauma-informed approach and the way I show up for adults who are ready to heal.

We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.
