If you're navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, or any of the many things that can weigh on you, you deserve a clinician who takes your history seriously and works with you — not around you. That's what I aim to be. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 25 years of experience treating adolescents (12+) and adults, and I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Whether medication is part of the picture or not, my goal is to help you understand what's going on and find a path forward that fits your life.

Hi, I’m Sara. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut, and I work with teens, young adults, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship challenges.
I believe every human is on their own journey of growth, self-discovery, and healing. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you with compassion and curiosity. Together we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to explore your story while building the tools you need to move forward.
My approach is collaborative and flexible. I often use CBT, DBT, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, and I tailor sessions to fit your individual needs. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and down to earth. I try to balance understanding with practical strategies that you can use in your daily life, whether that means finding ways to manage stress, communicate better, or feel more grounded.
Outside of therapy, I find balance and renewal in nature and the outdoors. That connection to growth and change in the natural world often inspires how I view the healing process in therapy.
If you’re ready to start or continue your journey, I’d be honored to support you in creating lasting growth and connection.
