Grief counselors and therapists in Magnolia, TX

Hello, I'm Sarah, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and happiness. With a compassionate approach rooted in my training from Sam Houston State University, I specialize in supporting individuals, teens, children, and couples through life's challenges. Together, we'll navigate the depths of trauma, anxiety, and depression, using gentle techniques like play therapy, EMDR, and Gottman Method Level 1.

Have you been feeling lost and overwhelmed? You are probably here because you struggle with anxiety, trouble sleeping, feeling down and hopeless, maybe having nightmares and flashbacks of stressful events or you lost someone important and are struggling to cope with grief. All that sounds like a lot to deal with alone so It is good that you are here. This a great step towards your mental health and healing process.

Clients should know that I believe everyone has strengths and the ability to create positive change. My approach is supportive, respectful, and focused on what’s working rather than what’s wrong. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we set clear goals, highlight your progress, and build practical solutions that fit your life. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice matters and where we work together to move toward hope, healing, and growth.

I have lived in and outside of Mexico, Houston, Seattle, and Maine, and have felt at home in a number of ecosystems. I’ve held many titles: marine biologist, research scientist, environmental educator, elementary school teacher, farmer, barista, mom...I come from a multi-national, multi-cultural family. When I’m not therapizing, I’m outside with my family and my pets, gardening, writing, moving my body, and goofing off.

I dedicated the first part of my career to connecting with nature through science, outdoor adventure education, and horticulture, while doing my own therapeutic work. Nature has always been part of my healing and how I care for others. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BS in Aquatic and Fisheries Science, and earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. I have 8 years of combined experience in eating disorder treatment at every level of care. My 5 years of private practice experience has centered on complex trauma presentations.
