Hello! I’m Sara.
I’m a relational therapist who helps people heal from complex trauma, release shame and self-doubt, and expand their lives in ways that feel meaningful and authentic to them.
Trained in IFS, ACT, Somatic Embodiment, and the Flash Technique, my approach is relational, holistic, and grounded in a deep trust in your own inner healing power. I believe you already carry important wisdom, strengths, and skills within you, and I’m here to help you access, build upon, and trust them.
Therapy can be more than learning to cope or simply getting by. With unconditional compassion and curiosity, we’ll take an honest look at the patterns that keep you stuck, held back, or living small. By understanding what’s underneath them, we can make the changes needed to help you grow.
Whether you’re navigating life changes, relationship challenges, or old patterns, I’m here to help you release what’s holding you back and expand what’s possible.
Our 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.
