Hi and welcome! My name is Sara and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) here in Minnesota. I split my time between offices in St Louis Park and North Loop, offering both telehealth and in-person sessions. I primarily work with individuals and intimate partners, high school age and up. The content of that work is different for everyone, but some major themes include identity, relationships, life transitions and satisfaction, among others. In therapy- just as in life- we bring our unique self to the relationship and space. Some things you can expect from me are warmth, curiosity, and patience.
I work to hold the many stories and systems that impact internal and external relationships. My style is collaborative, rather than prescribed. I strive to create a balance of practical strategies, alongside opportunities for self-understanding. I hope therapy can be a regular place to feel present with yourself and be witnessed compassionately by another.
It’s tricky to weigh so many different factors when reaching out to a therapist. There’s all the things we might want (like someone who shares a value or aspect of identity), and then there are all the practical things (insurance or scheduling). I hope that you’ll find most of what you need here. You may also take advantage of reaching out to ask questions!

I have a special interest working with individuals who are transitioning into their adult roles and figuring things out. I also consider myself a good match for individuals who are experiencing therapy for the first time, or feel in any way new to the process. I do relational work, such as couples and partnerships.

I use a mix of approaches, and it looks different every time because each person is different! That said, here's the short of it: I will ask you to (even if not right away) talk with me about your growing up experiences, ask you to reflect on the stories you have about yourself and others, and then use theory, research, and somatic experiences help identify the next steps towards your goals.
