Hi, I’m Sarah! My goal is to provide collaborative and holistic care to individuals I serve with compassion and dignity. Each person has their own unique story and I recognize that there are several approaches to healing based on individual needs and preferences. My mission as a therapist is to provide a safe, trusting space that allows you as the client to feel comfortable, heard, and able to grow as an individual.
My practice utilizes trauma-informed care and a person-centered approach to inspire empathy, understanding, and trust, while leaning on your personal strengths. I am a Certified Trauma Professional and have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
Our therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together and is based on mutual trust and respect. You are the expert of your own life, meaning my job is to collaborate and support you to promote your health, healing, and to create positive changes. I look forward to hearing how I may help you heal!
