Counseling is a space where we get to focus on helping you move towards a life that is more fulfilling, meaningful, and connected. I work with people struggling with anxious thoughts, depression, or challenging relationships. Some are trying to navigate dating, intimacy, and partnership. Some have experienced spirit abuse or are coming out of religious systems that have left them confused and even traumatized. Some of the people I work with are unpacking their past and trying to be free of difficult patterns. Many people are just stuck and want some help figuring out why. Counseling helps you get unstuck.

I work with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, abuse, codependency and relationship issues. I do not pathologize issues, challenges, problems or people. The soul is always seeking expression, not just with joy and happiness, but also through challenges and sorrows. When we honor all aspects of our life stories, healing pathways begin to open up for us.

The best way to get to the heart is through art. My name is Sarah Engelskirchen-Bugler, and I created Heart 2 Art Therapy, PLLC in order to offer an accessible and expansive pathway towards processing, healing, and empowerment through the expressive arts. While I specialize in utilizing visual art, writing, music, movement, and other transformative somatic approaches, my toolbox also consists of a variety of other person-centered, trauma-focused, and strengths-based modalities. In my work, I have found that everyone has a unique story to tell, and everyone is the expert of their own stories.

I work with teens and adults who are in search of relief from stress, anxiety, panic, anger, low-self-esteem, depression, and relationship issues such as codependency . In my practice, I recognize that being human is complex. Big and small traumas can hold someone back from taking care of themselves, seeing their potential, forming meaningful relationships, taking aligned risks, and living an authentic life. If you are interested in getting to the root of lifelong patterns and emotional triggers that are keeping you from living your best life, then I would love to join you on your healing journey.

I started Flourish Beyond Therapy for girls and women who are tired of dealing with low self-esteem and codependency . My clients are competent, strong, and full of potential, but they don’t believe this about themselves when they first start meeting with me. They usually believe themselves to be incompetent, inadequate, and unwanted. You have an endless amount of potential hiding inside of you, let’s uncover it together.

You are sensitive to your environment, the energy of others, and can quickly read the emotional climate of a room. Your intuition is powerful and you feel very deeply and intensely. Often my clients are in a stuck place, a life transition, grieving a loss, or wanting to change relational patterns. I see clients with a variety of needs and areas they want to focus on or improve like boundaries or codependency . In addition, I am particularly attuned to addressing the specific healing needs of the those recovering from complex trauma such as childhood neglect, abuse, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse, or religious trauma syndrome.

Accepting New Clients (Private Pay) - I have collaborated both with people working to address co-occurring substance use and mental health issues & many others addressing only one or the other. I am motivated by people seeking to change the way they walk through the world and the lens through which they view their world and themselves in it. Using a cognitive behavioral approach and emphasis on mindfulness, I strive to meet my clients where they are in their lives and help them move forward to where they want to be.

Sex and porn addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, with a focus on underlying trauma & codependency are my areas of expertise. My goal is to assist you to transcend suffering, to lay your secrets down and get rid of toxic shame. My focus for you is self-transformation, to like/love yourself and to be released from isolation. Empathy and confidentiality and a focus on the underlying neurocognitive function of addiction, trauma and recovery are the foundations of my practice. With 30 years in the field, I hold two master's degrees, one from the world-renowned Hazelden-Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies.

Are you currently in a relationship where you're not happy but can't seem to get yourself to leave? Maybe you feel emotionally stuck or confused and have tried leaving only to return to the same unhappy relationship where nothing seems to change. On the other hand, you might feel that you keep entering into relationships in which you are treated poorly but can't figure out why. Perhaps you're dating and finding "the one" seems impossible. You feel sad and disappointed, no one seems to understand, and you don't know what else to do to make things better. I'm here to tell you that things can change and I am here to help!

I imagine that you may be scared to make a move. You may worry that recovery will be hard and take forever. I hear you, and I understand. This journey can be an emotional ride of fear, shame, and guilt. You most likely deal with anxiety, depression, insomnia, or other emotions or behaviors you are powerless over. Right now, life may feel unmanageable. Things will change soon.

I help those struggling to navigate life transitions, relationships and codependency issues, challenged by anxiety, processing grief/loss, and dealing with the impacts of trauma. We are all trying to find solutions to our problems, however sometimes those solutions have just created more problems. Therapy is great tool to help us understand those patterns, try a different approach, and rewire ourselves for sustained growth and change.
