Are you constantly on edge or worried? Do you feel stuck in past pain? Or struggle to feel secure in relationships? Maybe you get flooded by big emotions or have learned to ignore your needs altogether? Humans were designed to face adversity, but we weren't meant to face it alone. Hey I'm Sara (she/her)! I'm passionate about helping clients find relief from anxiety and reconnect with their authentic selves after trauma. With a decade of experience in the trauma field, I specialize in treating adult women with a history of complex and relational trauma. I especially enjoy working with adult children of emotionally immature parents.

As a psychotherapist I specialize in helping individuals who are interested in learning and growing in self-awareness and confidence. I work well with people who are exploring patterns of substance use, intimate relationships, performance anxieties, lack of confidence/satisfaction, major life transitions (job/school changes/relational/grief). I am a relationally and present moment-based therapist. This means we will work from a framework that everything (past/present/future) can be addressed by exploring the relationship you have with it in "right now". My role is to help guide you on your path of wellness.

Hey you! Welcome to Braveheart Therapy, Life Coaching, and Counseling. Thank you so much for stopping by my profile. I hope you are proud of yourself for getting this far. As a veteran, mom, and therapist, I understand how the stressors of every day life can become overwhelming. Hard days can leave us feeling lost, stressed, consumed, and alone. The great news is that there is a way to conquer life's challenges, overcome anxiety, manage depression, sadness, fear and anger, and find fulfillment. The journey through therapy can bring meaning back to life, enabling you to thrive with peace and happiness.

Whatever brought you to consider therapy, know that you are not alone. Many of us struggle to manage intense emotions, connect deeply with others, meet our goals, live up to our expectations, accept ourselves, or find meaning in life. In a safe and supportive space you are free to express yourself openly, honestly, and authentically, and together we can work to discover the ways you would like your life to be different. The approach we take to implement those changes will be guided by your personality, culture, and needs.

I provide a welcoming space in which clients can practice self-acceptance. I use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients identify what is important to them and live accordingly. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (a trauma-focused modality).

My clinical experience includes specialization in various theoretical approaches, each of which is client-centered, solution-focused, and holistic in nature. Common areas of clinical focus include: anxiety, behavioral disorders, adjustment difficulties, ADHD, and depression. My clientele includes teens (16 and up), young adults, men, women, and those who identify as LGBTQ+. I have a specific interest in working with young adults and college students but appreciate working with clients of all ages.

My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, accepting and collaborative.

My desire is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment to aid in facilitating change and growth. Whether you're going through life transition or relational strain, my goal is to empower you to find the tools within yourself to initiate a positive transformation within your life and relationships. Let's focus on navigating and guiding you through the change process to cultivate a deeper self awareness to discover a more peaceful state of mind, as well as, develop a move cohesive unit and bond within your family and partnerships.

Thank you for visiting my profile! I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of OCD and trauma. I can also help with many other challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, life transitions, relationship/social concerns, and difficulties with emotion regulation. I provide individual therapy for adults (18+) via telehealth or in person. My therapy style is warm, down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I am often told I come across as sincere, authentic, and easy to talk to.

Life can be hard when you're struggling with a big change, whether that be starting a new job, returning to school, or making a big move. It's even harder when you're struggling with anxiety or depression, unresolved trauma, identity concerns, or neurodiversity! Sometimes, it can feel like everything in life is working against you. Working together in therapy can be the first step toward making that burden more manageable, and I'm here to help.

I am a clinical social worker with over ten years of experience and licensed in multiple states. I am a U.S. Army veteran with much experience working with service members, veterans, and military family members. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma, abuse, sleeping disorders, and depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can go at your pace. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. Many of my clients have tried to cope with their situations by pushing their feelings away or using addictive behaviors to numb them. My job is to help people listen to and manage their emotions without feeling overwhelmed or ruled by them. Being personally in recovery from alcohol helps me understand and empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve probably been there too.

Do you feel disconnected and lonely in your relationship? I can help you re-connect and feel again the bond you once had. I use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy ( EFT), an attachment based therapy method. I am also trained in EMDR ( Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), ACT ( Acceptance and Commitment Therapy- a combination of CBT and mindfulness techniques) and IFS ( Internal Family Systems ) which are helpful in processing trauma.

Currently accepting clients! I am a therapist in Durham who works with teens and adults. I have experience in both group and individual therapy settings, working with folks with varying types of mental health crises and challenges. I am passionate about serving clients who may be struggling with racial, ethnic, or spiritual identity, as well as those who are coming from multi-cultural backgrounds. Regardless of what my clients are dealing with, I strive to come alongside and remind them that they are not alone.

Welcome! Oftentimes when life gets too hard or too overwhelming, it's difficult to know what to do or who to turn to for help. In fact, letting others know you need help is often the most difficult. But you're here. You've taken the first step to healing and I'm so glad you did. I practice from a person-centered perspective, meaning I walk alongside you in your journey at your pace. I also incorporate skills from other modalities as needed. You are the expert of your life and it's my job to honor that, to help provide clarity, and to offer tools to navigate life's most difficult challenges.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the view that we are all, at the deepest level, whole and complete; we all have wisdom, love, compassion, and the capacity for connection within us. My job as a therapist is not to fix or to change anyone—it is to help and support you in connecting with your own knowing, power, and ability to grow and meet your goals. I work with adults and older teens seeking assistance with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, and identity development and change.

Whether this is your first time in therapy or a continuation of your journey, I believe that we all have something to gain when engaging in the therapy space. I have experience working with an array of clients, each bringing their own perspectives and mental health concerns into our sessions. Having worked with individuals with various backgrounds and identities, my passion lies in working with those exploring the intricacies of gender and sexuality. In addition to identity exploration, I enjoy supporting clients with navigating concerns around anxiety, intimacy, ADHD, relationships, depression, family dynamics, and trauma.

Are you feeling stuck or invalidated? Are you struggling with loving your body? Do you want to feel at home and safe in your body? Change is hard, and you deserve the support you need. My goal is to aid in guiding clients to creating the life they desire. I believe that therapy is a powerful tool, and the therapeutic alliance is crucial to change. I’m a licensed clinical social work associate. Before outpatient work, I worked as a primary therapist in a residential eating disorder treatment center. I practice through a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework and believe everyone should feel safe in their bodies.

I work most frequently with those who may be experiencing anxiety, work stress/changes, relationship issues, divorce, grief and loss, traumatic experiences, military lifestyle challenges, parenting/co-parenting struggles, or women's issues. These situations can make one feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, angry, stressed, hopeless, or alone, making everyday life tasks even harder. It's not a sign of weakness to ask for help and I look forward to the opportunity to help you feel more like yourself again.
