About
Life can be challenging, and no one should have to navigate it alone. Sara provides a trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and collaborative therapeutic space where clients feel heard, supported, and respected. She specializes in grief and loss, working with individuals coping with the death of a loved one, ambiguous loss, relationship changes, life transitions, and other significant endings. She understands that grief can feel isolating and overwhelming, yet with compassionate support, it can also create opportunities for healing, meaning-making, and renewed connection. In addition to grief work, Sara supports adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, career challenges, and international or cultural transitions. Her approach is integrative, evidence-based, and somatic, recognizing the deep connection between mind and body in the healing process. She tailors each session to the unique needs, values, and goals of the individual, fostering meaningful and sustainable change. Sara values building a warm, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. She works with individuals across the lifespan and welcomes clients of all faiths, cultures, identities, and orientations. Through therapy, clients can cultivate self-compassion, deepen self-understanding, and reconnect with their inherent strengths. Whether someone is seeking relief from distress, greater emotional stability, or personal growth, she offers a supportive space to move forward with clarity, resilience, and care.

Message to clients
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a powerful tool to better understand your personal narrative and unique strengths. I work well with clients who are committed and ready to embrace change as well as find meaning in their life experiences. Most clients find therapy allows them to feel increased connection and stability as they face life's challenges.

Sara is one of the most adaptable therapists I have met. Sara's integrative style allows therapy to be tailored to fit cultural and emotional needs of the client. Sara's approach to life and her work is compassionate and nonjudgemental.
