Meet Sara

— Welcome —

 

I’m so glad you’re here.

​

I’m Sara, and I can't wait to meet you. With warmth, humor, and authenticity, I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, connect with your resilience, and take brave steps toward self-understanding, self-actualization, and healthier relationships. I value honesty, kindness, and showing up as our real, imperfect selves. I believe that therapy is about turning toward  life's challenges — the anger, fear, frustration, pain, and sadness. Often our biggest growth moments come from leaning into these experiences with curiosity and compassion. I hope to stand next to you while you navigate

​

wherever you are.

​

Outside of the therapy room, I’m a married mom to two littles, two of the world’s fluffiest kitties, and a very special boy named Marv (he's a dog). I find joy in traveling, going to concerts, and spending time in nature — whether that’s hiking or getting my hands dirty working in the garden. Time outside helps me slow down, find balance, and stay connected to what matters most — something I try to bring into my work with clients as well.

​

I love working with couples, families, and individuals who are navigating relationship challenges, conflict, communication struggles, boundary-setting, or the sometimes-messy process of learning how to live more authentically. My approach is deeply collaborative — you bring your lived experience; I bring curiosity, insight, and a belief that all behavior makes sense in context. Sometimes the patterns that once protected us no longer serve us. Together, we’ll explore what’s no longer working and find a better way forward — one that feels true to you.

​

I like to think of therapy as a place where nothing is too big to bring into the room. My goal is to offer a truly judgment-free space where you can be fully seen, fully human, and fully yourself.
