As a family systems therapist with an interest in couples reconciliation therapy and healing relational trauma from infidelity, I am passionate about walking beside you to work through the pain and confusion of your life situation.  Intimate betrayal is one of the most devastating and disorienting events that can happen to a relationship.  The betrayed partner is left questioning fundamental beliefs and wrestling with the very existence of truth, love and relationship history. I also work with couples who long to enhance communication, connection, and build shared long term goals and values.

My name is Sara, I am a LMFT and a Registered Play Therapist. I enjoy working closely with kids and families to help them reach their goals. I view your family and your child's problem in the context of their life and relationships. I take a comprehensive family system's approach, which is client centered and focused on the goals you bring to therapy. We will develop a comprehensive treatment plan, taking into consideration family history, health, educational goals/needs, living situation, and cultural aspects of your life. I encourage clients to work with family and/or supports throughout the therapeutic process.

I use a holistic approach to therapy while honoring each person’s unique personality and focusing on their individual strengths, helping each client live their most fulfilling life. You are the expert of your own life and working together, we will determine the most beneficial course of treatment. I strive to create a non-judgmental, compassionate, healing environment providing clients with a safe space to grow.

As a dedicated mental health therapist, I specialize in Family Systems therapy and Somatic Experiencing. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and collaborative space for individuals and families to explore, understand, and navigate the challenges they face. Family Systems therapy allows us to delve into the interconnected dynamics within relationships, fostering healing and growth. Additionally, my training in Somatic Experiencing enables me to guide clients in reconnecting with their body's wisdom, promoting resilience in the face of trauma and stress.

I strive to provide a safe place for all women to heal in the context of a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I work with a wide variety of individuals, including those struggling with the effects of motor vehicle accident, sexual assault, social rejection, attachment injuries, family of origin injuries, medical trauma, disturbing memories, phobias and more. I treat anxiety and depression. I regularly work with other helping professionals, such as counselors, nurses, and teachers, navigating their own trauma histories. I focus on stability and safety before beginning trauma work with all new clients.

I am a practicing licensed marriage and family therapist. For the past 10 years I have worked in the crisis mental healthcare system. There I encountered clients at some of the worst times in their lives. I created a space and container for them to be in the moment. To be messy, to be where they were at that stage of discomfort, and be able to sit with that. I worked with some of the world's most marginalized and disenfranchised populations who were in a constant struggle of survival with a system that was deliberately built against them.

One of the biggest challenges is finding the “right” therapist in a sea with many options and approaches. Building a treatment relationship of connection, trust and understanding between each client and myself is of the utmost importance. I am a seasoned psychologist who is committed to being a guide for my clients as they move through the struggles, fears, anxieties and pain that have held them back in their life and their relationships. Over the last three years I have transitioned to working exclusively in an IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy model and has been a real game changer in the work I do with clients.

Connection is essential to our survival as humans. Being truly seen & heard without judgment is connection in its truest form. No matter what has led you to seek out therapy…whether you going through a difficult life event, life changes, or are feeling "stuck" or disconnected in your life, therapy provides a safe space to be yourself. I seek to build a relationship of trust, curiosity, & exploration in which you feel empowered to use your autonomy to make choices that feel most supportive to you. i enjoy working with adults 18+ struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, LGBTQIA issues, & eating disorders.

I have always loved people and truly seek to understand others in a supportive and non judgmental way. I strive to help people heal and grow and to create healthy and rewarding relationships. I take a collaborative approach with clients. This might look like giving resources, citing research, listening and validating, or using a whiteboard to visually represent what is concerning you. You know yourself and your circumstances best. I am here to focus in on what might need changing, collaborate ideas on how to go about that, give homework where necessary, and give a nudge to help you grow.

I am continually seeking to grow as a therapist and expand in my knowledge and capacity to care for the diverse clients I serve. I approach my work with clients as a scaffolding experience of combining our knowledge, lived experiences and ability to navigate collaboratively with compassion, non-judgement, cultural awareness and empowerment. I work best with individuals and couples who lead with openness, curiosity and a true desire for personal growth. I feel most effective at working with those who have experienced infidelity/relationship ruptures, sexual assault/trauma, emotional stuck points related to sexuality and relationship.

I have a passion for working with children, teens and adults. I also enjoy parent coaching and executive functioning coaching. I regularly work with clients on stress management, self-esteem, life transitions, grief/loss, anger management, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD and ASD. I also love working on social anxiety, social skills, boundary setting, relational issues, and communication issues.
