She has worked across child welfare, substance use, crisis response, psychotherapy, sexual assault advocacy, and hospice and grief counseling. She speaks English and draws on a broad background when helping people address stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.
Sara approaches sessions in a direct, practical way. She listens for what matters most and helps people set concrete goals. Treatment plans are developed together and adjusted as needed. She uses common therapy tools rather than technical language, so people can understand the steps they’ll take.
Her clinical work has included varied settings and populations, including work with LGBTQ individuals and people from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. That experience informs how she frames questions and offers options during sessions. She aims to make conversations straightforward and relevant to everyday life pressures like work, money, health, and caregiving.
Sara uses several well-known therapy methods, choosing techniques that fit a person’s situation. She helps clients cope with grief, anger, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. For people facing addiction or trauma, she combines motivational strategies with focused therapeutic tasks.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Sara commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them clarify priorities and feel heard. It is useful for stress, relationship issues, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit. That recommendation can change as the work progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography did not list specific online formats. Ask about available session types when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health appointments while keeping the focus on clear, actionable steps.
