Hi, I'm Sara. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR trained clinician who is committed to working collaboratively with clients to achieve their goals.

You’re nervous, worried and feel like you’re living in the past. It feels like it is haunting you. Relationships feel scary because of how you’ve been hurt or let down by people in your life. You know you are ready for the next chapter but you just aren’t sure how to get there or move on. Feelings of overwhelm, being “stuck” and anxiety are feelings that you have come to know too well. You remember a time when you didn’t feel this way, but that was before “that” happened. While it is hard to imagine now, I want you to know there is a reality where you can move on from past hurt and thrive.

Anxiety can be an unrelenting companion, whispering worst-case scenarios and drowning out the voice of reason. The knots in your stomach, the racing heart, the feeling of impending doom.

Through our sessions, I will help you uncover the roots of your anxiety and sadness, providing you with coping strategies to manage their grip on your life. I want you to know that there is hope beyond this darkness. Your pain does not define you, but your journey toward healing can shape your story in remarkable ways.

Life can be extremely difficult when dealing with the impact of the past or when facing current life changing experiences. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who is experienced in the area of trauma (physical, emotional, sexual abuse; neglect; and domestic violence); major life transitions (divorce, bereavement, or foster care system); and chronic illness. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, children, and families that are looking for positive change and growth in their relationships and themselves. I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), a therapeutic tool to reduce trauma; as well as helping to create a healthy state of balance.

As a therapist, I know that sometimes, you may just need someone to listen and walk through a difficult season in life with you. You may find yourself in need of a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings about dating, a significant relationship or a life transition. You may be coping with pain in ways that are self-destructive, or feeling "stuck", sad, and/or overwhelmed by worry. I offer understanding and caring, compassionate feedback. My goal is to help you tap into your own inner wisdom, so that you can heal, grow, and thrive- ultimately living a more fulfilling life.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Constantly feeling anxious or depressed? Do you wake up in the middle of the night with a feeling that something is "wrong" or missing in your life? I believe that each of us can live richer, more satisfying lives when we examine how past circumstances and experiences are causing current difficulties and preventing us from more joyous living. Although problems may have historical roots, I believe in the importance of tending to current pain and struggles with an eye toward their origin. In today's fast-paced world, I see therapy be a sacred time for discovery and clarity.

The world has changed, and it's hard to change with it. Are you overwhelmed with feelings of grief, anxiety, and depression? Are your relationships not working? Is there a lack of patience with your spouse or partner? If you're ready to rid yourself of the roadblocks to your happiness and fulfillment, I want to help you. The truth is we have all been there at some time in our lives. Everyone has tough challenges that you can learn to overcome.
