My approach is active and engaging, helping each client and/or partner to regulate emotions, listen deeply, communicate clearly, and think strategically to improve their individual and joint quality of life.
Is your love or work life in flux? Any life TRANSITION or CHANGE creates ripples, often producing stress and anxiety. Moving from one chapter of life to another asks us to leave our comfort zone. These are especially difficult times with the uncertainty factor challenging for all. Managing transition demands your perspectives, mindset and choices modify accordingly. LEARN what it takes to prepare and shift! A GROWTH mindset helps adjustment, and requires vision, motivation, and support to feel clear and confident. I'll be guiding you with wise compassion. Try a free 15min interview or visit LucidLearning.com for more info.

I have worked with clients with various struggles such as codependency, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, traumatic brain injuries, grief and loss.
I believe that each individual is uniquely different and thrives with individualized counseling. I believe the best approach to counseling is through open dialogue and exploring what works best for you. Throughout our sessions we will work together to explore unresolved issues from your past, current life stressors and how to move forward to become your best self.

I work with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders, body image issues, complex trauma, PTSD, grief and relationship issues.
In a world where we are constantly experiencing trauma, both directly and indirectly, it can be difficult to identify how deeply different things in life affect us. I believe that the experience of feeling understood can be the catalyst for change and something that allows for healing to begin. I aim to provide a space of healing, openness and exploration for those things that you might otherwise suppress or carry with heaviness or judgment. Together, we can heal that unresolved stuff from the past and create skills to support you through future circumstances.

Hi there! I'm Sara Appleton. I am a licensed therapist with a passion for helping women, men, and the unique issues concerning the LBGTQ+ community. Life can be extremely difficult to navigate at times, especially when going through major life transitions.

It can seem impossible to deal with these life stressors and escape from the overwhelming feelings that accompany them.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
