Hello and welcome! I’m Sara, a clinical therapist with over 20 years of experience in social work. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, & adults through many life experiences and emotional challenges in a variety of settings. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. My goal is to build a trusting, supportive environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Whether you're navigating a tough transition, coping with stress, or working through deeper emotional wounds, I’m here to walk alongside you as you move forward.
I am particularly passionate about helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, daily stress, and finding footing after life's big adjustments. My therapeutic approach is personable and relaxed in order to build a trusting, comfortable environment. It is my belief you are your own life’s expert and my role is to be a support as you work toward your goals.
With empathy, compassion, and a client-centered approach, I’m committed to helping you overcome challenges, build resilience, and create a more fulfilling life. I look forward to walking alongside you on your therapy journey
