Sara has over 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate obstacles and identify barriers to living a meaningful and fulfilled life. She strives to create an environment for her clients that is collaborative, non-judgmental and supportive.  A space to explore difficult topics, consider other perspectives, and learn new ways of coping with life stressors. 

Sara takes great pride in her ability to easily connect with clients and make her clients feel comfortable and at ease. Her approach is engaging, warm and straightforward. 

When it comes to treatment, Sara does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.  Your treatment will be unique to your specific needs. Sara has an eclectic model of treatment where she utilizes a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, strength-based, and solution-focused therapy.  She is also Gottman Certified for those interested in Couples Therapy.
