I combine somatic, IFS, and attachment modalities.
If you're looking for something different from "regular" therapy in which you talk for most of the session, then this type of therapy may be for you. Many have found that somatic therapy is effective in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as parental and relationship wounding.

I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems ( IFS), and parts work to support trauma processing, OCD-related anxiety, nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and a more trusting relationship with yourself.
As life continues to shift, old wounds can still feel close to the surface. I work with clients navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, parenthood stress, and major life transitions. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, emotional patterns, or experiences that no longer feel manageable. My approach is holistic and grounded, creating a supportive space tailored to your needs and experiences.

My approach is holistic and grounded, creating a supportive space tailored to your needs and experiences.
My approach integrates experiential therapy (learning through felt experience), somatic therapy, attachment-focused work, Internal Family Systems (“parts work”), interpersonal neurobiology, and relational/psychodynamic therapy.
Many of the adults I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by stress, trauma, or difficult relationships. You may be functioning well on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, depression, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. My clients are often looking for deeper change, not just coping. I offer trauma-informed therapy integrating somatic awareness, attachment work, and experiential approaches. Sessions are available via tele-health, in-office, or through equine-assisted psychotherapy for those drawn to working with horses.

One of my favorite quotes from Steven Covey: "Self-awareness gives us ultimate human freedom." This is the foundation of my therapy style. To have a strong sense-of-self and healthy relationships with others we must really know ourselves; our strengths, our defenses, and the stories we create. We will explore how life has shaped you and find patterns that keep you stuck. I do not shy away from any life experiences. I am open-minded and am comfortable discussing what you need explore.

My work draws from family systems therapy, somatic approaches, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, spiritual guidance, and homeopathic medicine.
My clients are seekers - children, teens, adults, couples, and families who sense there is more available to them and are ready to go there. To find meaning, create purpose, shed light. They arrive in the midst of life transitions, spiritual awakening, grief, anxiety, burnout, or relational challenges. Many are highly sensitive, empathic, or intuitive souls who have never quite fit the traditional mold. Some are healers themselves, in need of tending their fire. Together we create a sacred, grounded container where patterns become visible, old stories are released, and new ways of being become possible - on every level.

I help teens and adults process trauma and create meaningful relationships. I help people find regulation and control of their emotions, handle crises better without making things worse, set boundaries and foster self-respect, and become better at being present in the moment. I also help clients process traumas and limiting beliefs holding them back from the fulfillment of life through Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.

In my gentle yet strategic approach, I regularly draw on EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS through the lens of attachment and the mind-body connection.
Are you tired of being hard on yourself but not sure how to change what's stuck? Are you seeking a sense of purpose and meaning in an uncertain world but not sure where to start? My clients tend to be resilient yet exhausted, and longing for connection–to themselves, family, community, spirituality, or all of the above. Some of us have simply carried too much for too long and are ready to shed what is no longer serving us. As a somatic and intuitive therapist substantially trained and experienced in evidence-based modalities, my approach is holistic and honors the mind, body and spirit.

Do you know what decades of research show is the single most important predictor of successful therapy? It’s the quality of the relationship between client and counselor. My priority is to create a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust, safety and mutual respect with you because I know that has the greatest influence on your motivation, emotional openness, and long-term change. I work with individuals navigating the ripple effects of active addiction and recovery along with coexisting issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, relationship issues and identity conflict.

I help people see the bigger picture of how family and relationship patterns shape their lives and choices. My style is down-to-earth, collaborative and at times, direct —somewhere between therapist and coach—so sessions feel both supportive and practical. I work especially well with couples, men who want to grow in how they show up in relationships or the dating scene and women struggling with their partners in the post child launch stage of relationship.

Hi, I'm Sarah. Maybe you feel stuck right now. Maybe things feel hard and you're just not sure what to do. Maybe you've noticed unresolved feelings, or big feelings, coming back again and again. Maybe you feel stuck in a relationship, a season in your life, or your identity. Maybe it feels like things might always feel this way. Clients that I work with are curious about their experiences. Whether it's noticing past patterns, current feelings, or experimenting with doing something different, the clients that I see often want to understand more about themselves, to show up for themselves in ways they hope to be.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
