Hello! I’m Sara.
I’m a relational therapist who helps people heal from complex trauma, release shame, and expand their lives in ways that feel meaningful and authentic to them.
I know firsthand how hard it can be to exist when your inner dialogue is full of shame, criticism, and neurodivergent chaos. My own therapy journey showed me the power of being unconditionally supported as I learned to face these parts of myself with compassion rather than judgment. That experience inspired me to do this work: to offer others the same kind of space to feel understood, make sense of themselves, and to discover that life can feel different.
Trained in IFS, ACT, Somatic Embodiment, and the Flash Technique, my approach is relational, holistic, and focused on helping you nurture your own healing power. I’m here to help you access, build upon, and trust that power.
If you’re ready to trust yourself more fully, break free from old patterns, and make meaningful changes in your life, I’m here to help you discover what’s possible.
My Therapeutic Toolkit:
-
IFS Therapy (also known as “parts work”) is an experiential, evidence-based modality that provides a deeper, more holistic way of relating to yourself.
IFS is based on the understanding that we all have different parts within us at any given time. These “internal systems” include protective parts that try to manage, control, or avoid pain, and younger parts that carry hurt, fear, or unmet needs.
Rather than viewing these parts as problems to eliminate or override, we'll approach them with curiosity and compassion, strengthening your sense of capability and self-trust.
Through the use of IFS, I'll help you engage with your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors from a place of calm so that you feel more confident and courageous while facing life's challenges.
-
ACT is an evidence-based approach to dealing with difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences so that you can live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable emotions, ACT helps you develop a different relationship with them, making space for what you’re feeling while learning to respond in ways that reflect what matters most to you.
Together, we’ll use ACT to explore your values, build greater emotional flexibility, and identify small, meaningful steps toward the life you want to live.

Originating as part of the preparation phase of EMDR, the Flash Technique is a gentle, brief, and rapid approach to processing trauma.
Unlike EMDR, Flash does not require you to spend a long time preparing or repeatedly talking through the details of traumatic events. You remain in control throughout the process, and we move at a pace that feels manageable for you.
Flash is especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by traumatic memories, or who have felt stuck, avoidant, or disconnected when trying to work with them. It can provide a gentle way of processing distressing memories, sensations, and emotions, all while honoring one’s nervous system.
