A Little About Me.

 Hi, I’m Sara. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Eating Disorder Specialist, and for over 15 years I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of the most vulnerable and pivotal seasons of their lives.

I’m committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where your lived experience is respected and honored. I hold in mind that every story unfolds within a unique set of identities, relationships, cultures, and circumstances—and I approach all of that with care and curiosity.

From my own experience and the stories people share with me, I know how layered life can be. There are seasons of deep loss and seasons of joy, stretches of routine that leave us feeling numb or disconnected, and chaotic times when it feels almost impossible to slow down. Sometimes we find ourselves acting in ways that don’t quite align with who we want to be—doing whatever we can to cope, manage emotional pain, or simply get through the day.

I’ve also witnessed how powerful therapy can be. When there is space to slow down, feel supported, and make sense of what’s happening inside, meaningful healing and change can take place.

I think of therapy as a place to make room for the complexity—to hold both the pain and the possibility. At the heart of my work is a deep trust in your capacity for healing and growth.

Outside the therapy room, I’m usually curled up with a book, drinking tea, or eating ice cream. I love art, animals, and a good laugh. You can also find me happily nerding out in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

I’m continually inspired by learning that deepens my understanding of the human experience. Some recent trainings that have enriched my work include:
