Hi, my name is Sara! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience working alongside individuals as they navigate their mental health journeys.

Welcome!

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I believe that healing from trauma is not only possible—it’s transformative. Taking the first step to seek help is often the hardest, so I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to be here. While I’ve been practicing for over 12 years, my focus has been working with young and middle aged adults, especially those navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
