I'm Sara, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in helping adults navigate the complexities of life, particularly those impacted by trauma, anxiety, and unhealthy boundaries. I believe that true healing begins with understanding your values, honoring your experiences, and cultivating self-compassion.
My approach is rooted in creating a safe, supportive environment where you can feel centered and accepted. Wherever you are is where we’ll start. And together, we'll delve into your life’s stressors and challenges, and learn about who you are, how you handle things, and how you may like to do things differently. Whether you're grappling with anxiety's grip, struggling to set healthy boundaries, or seeking to heal from past wounds, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards being and expressing who you truly want to be.

We live in a world where it’s easy to get so caught up in the doing that we lose touch with the being. We struggle with defining our values, deciding how we want to fit into the world, and finding the qualities and attitudes that we resonate with. But therapy can help us rediscover our authentic self, our best self, and find internal consistency with who we want to be and how we show up in our lives.

I primarily utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Somatic approaches, and Attachment theory in my therapy practice. With my support, I can help you build the skills to recognize when your different parts may be triggered so that you can respond more consciously and effectively, with self-compassion and care.

I have a long history of working with clients experiencing severe anxiety, substance abuse, parental trauma in family reunification, and those healing from a variety of boundary violations across their physical, emotional and spiritual selves. Whatever you’re going through and whatever you’re doing now, makes perfect sense, given what’s happened to you. I would love to learn your story, better understand you, and be a support for your journey to a more healed self.
