A note from Sara

Over 25 years experience working with individuals, families, & couples ages 13+ with many issues. Early cossroads experiences led me to a pathway of self discovery & my present career, which I love & consider my true passion. Psychodynamic, Self Psychology, Object Relations & Family Systems are my foundational lens while using Somatic Experiencing® , EMDR, & Attachment Theory to heal childhood wounding or trauma, acute trauma, mood disorders, & relationship problems. Everyone is welcome. I treat everyone respectfully, compassionately, with a sharp listening ear to understand you on a deeper level.
