Bringing together Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness, along with relational/attachment-based therapy, I help you locate and strengthen your inner resources of healing and resilience. Over the course of life, we accumulate hurts and wounds that impact how we function in our day to day lives. We can feel flooded by a range of difficult, often overpowering thoughts & emotions. We can experience challenges in our relationships as well as in our efforts to process and respond to overwhelming life events. Transformative healing is available.

Are you struggling to find peace? Do you feel destined for more? I believe that each of us is born with a life purpose and when we are not in alignment with that energy we can feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain, and even depressed. Together, we will explore the past, examine the present, and manifest a future that you’ve always desired. A few simple shifts in your awareness is often all that is needed to change your perception and heal the parts of your life that you are presently struggling with. I will help you obtain clarity, find peace and balance, and discover or awaken parts of yourself that have yet to be explored.

Somatic therapy for the sensitive, highly aware soul- healing the root of trauma, perfectionism, and relationship patterns. You’ve tried faking it, pushing through emotions, and relying on positive thinking, but still feel stuck. You compare yourself, fear being "too much" in relationships, and despite success, nothing you do feels enough. Life may look "Instagram-Perfect," but it’s missing the ease you deserve. You know what keeps you stuck and why, but actual change remains out of reach. Together, we’ll uncover the love you want, appreciate the beauty in imperfection, and quiet the inner fight. I promise there’s another way.

Life is infinitely dimensional - amazing, and so utterly hard! Negotiating relationships, navigating purpose, moving through predictable and unpredictable life transitions, managing crises, and just contending with the inevitable reality of ongoing change. It can be a frustrating and fulfilling process to really pay attention, integrate experience, and find balance in the midst of it all. How to work with the rich material of life effectively, creatively, and well? Therapy can help: slow things down, make space to pay attention, gather perspective, and shore up support.

Imagine your life as a garden, shaped by the people and experiences that have influenced its landscape. You might notice areas that no longer align with your vision—overgrown vines choking out flowers, or plants that no longer serve a purpose. Perhaps you yearn for a garden that truly reflects who you are but feel uncertain about what you want to grow. Some sections thrive, while others struggle. Whether you're processing this awareness or dealing with an adverse event, you know your "garden" isn't as full as it could be.

Therapy is a space for us to work together in exploration, growth, and play. I value curiosity and building a trusting & collaborative relationship between therapist and client where you are treated as the expert of your own experience! I strive to support people through identifying the ways trauma manifests in their bodies, the impact of relationships and systems on their identities, and the connections between past and present. I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults around issues of identity, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, gender and sexuality, body image and relationship challenges.

Hi! I'm Sara and I am a licensed couples and family therapist, plant enthusiast, and dog mom. I am a systemically trained clinician working with individuals and couples; I approach therapy in a "3D" way rather than just the "one thing" bringing you in. I frequently work with adult children of narcissistic parents, boundary setting and advocating for your self, life transitions, and increased self worth.
