Meet Sara!
I am a pre-licensed professional counselor seeking a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health. My focus is on mindfulness-based therapy, but I also work with many different modalities. My work is influenced by brainspotting, mindfulness, attachment theory, gestalt, somatic therapy, self-compassion practices, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). I work with individuals including children, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, codependency, relationship difficulties and sexuality.
What can you expect while working with me?
Healing is a very personal adventure! I combine my traditional clinical training with a variety of tools like the enneagram, mindfulness and meditation, nature, animal therapy, and movement. I believe there are as many paths to healing as there are people on this planet. Through warmth, compassion, and humor I hope to create a space that honors the wisdom of your mind, body, and heart.
Want to know more about me?
I get it, healing and growth is deeply personal and it’s nice to know a little about the person you’re working with beyond the letters after my name. So here’s a bit more about me:
I’m a dog mom, an auntie, a nature lover, a movie watcher, and a stealer of naps. Like many other therapists, I came to the field of mental health after finding immense benefits from my own therapy and the enneagram! I’m an enneagram 6 and learning that changed my life! It gave me a non-judgmental, compassionate framework to better understand myself and my people. I’m also passionate about Brainspotting after experiencing it and seeing how it supported me in shifting old patterns that no longer served me.
Before becoming a therapist I worked mostly in the world of animal care with marine mammals. It’s my experience and connection with animals that drives my interest in using animals in the therapy space.
I love learning more about how my brain works and your brain work and how we can make them work better for us!
