Hi, I’m Sayer, I’ve got a Master’s in Social Work from Simmons University and have been working in the field for over 15 years. Most of my experience has been supporting folks from marginalized populations in rural communities, which has taught me a lot about resilience, strength, and the power of healing.

I see therapy as a way to build tools for facing life’s challenges, especially from a trauma-informed perspective. My main focus is working with the 2SLGBTQ+ community — helping folks explore their identities, feel safe in who they are, and work through the unique challenges of being queer in today’s world, where trying to erase us is all too common.

If you're looking for a therapist who gets it — someone who’s real, caring, and understands the importance of showing up authentically — I’d love to connect with you.

Hello! After my military career, I figured out there were no available job opportunities as a superhero so I chose a different path to help others and became a clinical social worker. While raising two kids, I started school, completed a life coaching course, and graduated with my MSW in 2006. I started my career at a local hospital providing inpatient services. Later, I joined an agency providing outpatient mental health therapy to help adults navigate through complicated life issues.

Over 20 years ago, God put a desire in my heart to start MANNAFULL Counseling and Consulting. I wanted to see people restored and transformed from the impact of rejection, insecurity, low self-esteem, hurt, fear, and brokenness. I knew, personally, what it felt like to be in bondage to my own thoughts and the thoughts of others. However, when I became willing to do the work, face the truth and take steps forward, I experienced freedom, joy and peace.
