Sara believes the most important aspects of counseling is the fit of the therapeutic relationship and safety of the therapy space. For meaningful change and support to occur you must feel heard, respected, and empowered. Sara is a trauma therapist who works with both bottom-up and top-down approaches to nervous system healing. She utilizes techniques from Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR (SAFE EMDR), SAFE EMDR for Chronic Pain, Brainspotting, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Presently Sara focuses her work around pregnant and postpartum persons, their families, and life transitions into and throughout parenthood. She also works with persons needing support around stress and life transitions, anxiety, mood changes, identity, relationships, body image, self-esteem, awareness, and finding balance. She works closely with and is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, is culturally sensitive, and takes a humble approach to therapy.

A lifelong learner, Sara always looks for ways to grow and implement new things in therapy practice and her personal life. Born and raised in Alaska, Sara has lived throughout North Carolina and Mexico, and now calls Raleigh home. In her off time Sara enjoys nature walks, exploring restaurants and coffee shops, traveling, watching TV shows, and spending time with family and friends.
