The word trauma means “wound” and so many of life's experiences can leave us feeling hurt, isolated, and confused. Everyone needs help from time to time, to heal from past experiences, navigate important life decisions, and learn how to cope with whatever circumstances they are dealt. I believe in a collaborative and creative therapeutic process that utilizes a variety of modalities to suit the needs of my clients. I also use expressive arts techniques to harness the healing power of creativity and self-expression.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space to help you explore and challenge yourself. I work collaboratively with clients using evidence-based interventions from a cognitive behavioral (CBT) framework to manage symptoms, enhance coping skills, strengthen relationships, facilitate change, and improve quality of life. I value a strengths-based treatment approach and tailor therapy interventions to your individualized needs. Together, we can process your challenges, gain insight into unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving that are holding you back, and develop concrete skills to help you achieve a fulfilling and meaningful life.

My ideal client is someone from a marginalized community, particularly an individual who has survived a traumatic situation and is seeking support from a therapist who provides affirming care from a culturally competent perspective. This client may be looking to navigate their experiences and challenges with a therapist who understands their cultural background and can provide a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.

Hi There! My name is Sara, and I am a teen and adult therapist who is passionate about providing culturally-responsive, trauma-informed care. I believe therapy should be holistic and should consider the individual in the context of their environment, their culture and beliefs, and their unique life experiences. In my practice, I use TF-CBT to help you both manage common symptoms like depression and anxiety, while if relevant, process and manage trauma. I do so by also incorporating somatic experiencing (SE) to help you process memories and emotions in a safe and embodied way.

Our careers and our sense of self are usually tightly linked, yet we don't always recognize this tie. This connection can have a big impact on how we relate to others in our lives. I would be honored to be your therapist as you navigate your personal or career challenges. Giving ourselves the space to explore and process our thoughts, feelings and needs is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. Knowing we are not alone in this journey can be quite powerful.

BΨP LLC is a project that strives to understand how we become who we are to help us become who we want to be. This quest took me beyond psychology to a wider world of neurobiology, epigenetic, child development, evolutionary science, old world traditions, spirituality & nature. The more research I did the more these sciences fitted together like different pieces to the same puzzle, telling me there is one universal answer to the human agony.

Life is a journey, and we sometimes lose our direction, get "stuck," and don't know where to turn. Feelings of hopelessness and shame often arise, and our coping skills fail us. Joy can fade from our lives, and some of us isolate as we question who we are and where we fit in. If we knew how to make positive changes, we would jump at the chance -- we can't just "snap out of it" as some might suggest. My approach to therapy and counseling builds on client strengths -- we all have them, and I can help you to identify them. Therapy opens doors to wellness allowing patients to not only 'get well' but also to explore life goals.

One’s experience in therapy should be as unique as they are as a person. In working with my clients, I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach because it assumes that one treatment or modality can meet the various needs of different clients. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families on a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, autism, trauma, behavioral concerns, intellectual disabilities, life-transitions, self-esteem, disordered eating, parenting, and family dynamics. At the core, I work to create a warm, authentic, and non-judgmental space for my clients as they go through the counseling process.

Do you feel trapped by anxiety, uncertainty, and worry? There may be days when your thoughts feel incessant and uncontrollable. You might be someone who appears to have it all together, but you still find yourself stressed, barely keeping up with the demands of school, work, or your personal life. It’s painful to feel like your mental health is hanging by a thread and I'm sure you’re ready for a change. You want to open up about how you’re really doing and connect authentically. Most of all, you’re ready to build a life you’re proud of and get out of survival mode. It would be an honor to help get you there!
