Hi, I am Sara. I feel privileged to support clients on their journey toward healing, clarity, and meaningful change. I work with individuals experiencing depression and mood disorders, stress and anxiety, grief, major life transitions, existential concerns, and a wide range of other emotional and life challenges.
Having worked across varied fields—from academic librarian to plant scientist to counselor—I bring a deep understanding of career transitions, professional identity, and the interpersonal and emotional complexities of work.
I enjoy supporting clients with work-related stress, career questions, relationship dynamics in professional settings. I bring a strong research background to my therapy practice, blending curiosity, deep compassion, and presence with evidence-based approaches including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, trauma work.
My goal is to offer a space that is steady, respectful, open, where difficult experiences can be explored safely and new insight and skills can emerge. I have deep respect for the therapy process—the opportunity to work through your painful experiences and to develop new perspective, resilience, and clarity for moving forward. Progress is possible.
