Hi, I’m Sara! I am passionate about helping people feel a little more grounded in a world that can feel overwhelming. If you or your child are struggling with anxiety, stress, or big emotions that seem hard to manage, you’re not alone AND you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I was drawn to this work through my own healing journey, and I know firsthand how powerful it can be to have someone walk alongside you when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. I don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, but I do believe in the strength that arises from feeling seen!
In therapy, I focus on building real connection. I strive to make sessions feel warm and collaborative. In our work together, you’ll find a non-judgmental space where your voice matters. I draw from DBT-informed strategies, CBT, family systems and play or creativity based tools; tailoring each session to who you are and what’s happening for you.
Before joining Rise, I worked in school and hospital settings, supporting children, teens, and young adults through anxiety, self-doubt, and transitions. I want therapy to feel like a supportive space where growth actually feels possible and to provide you with tools to develop confidence and balance.
