About Sara
Sara has four years of clinical experience working with people navigating pregnancy and postpartum shifts, divorce and separation, and other major transitions. She also supports clients dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and the lasting effects of post-traumatic stress.

In sessions she emphasizes compassion and collaboration. Sara helps people learn coping skills, name difficult feelings, and practice concrete tools for day-to-day life. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where a client’s voice is prioritized.
Sara relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment. That means pulling in approaches that have research support and adapting them to each person's needs. She focuses on building resilience, repairing relationships with others, and strengthening a person’s relationship with themselves.
People come to Sara when they need straightforward, practical help during change. She supports individuals as they process trauma, grieve relationship endings, or work toward more self-compassion and better communication.
Therapeutic approaches and how they help online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address symptoms and life challenges. One common approach involves skill building for stress and anxiety, teaching ways to manage worry, ground attention, and change unhelpful reaction patterns to reduce daily distress. This approach is practical and focused on small, achievable changes.Another approach focuses on processing trauma and painful memories through paced, supportive work. This helps people understand how past events shape current feelings and relationships, and it aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
