Meet Sarah


Hi there! Are you looking to get to know me? My name is Sarah, pleasure to meet you. I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel heavy every second, you’re allowed to smile, breathe, and even have a little fun while doing the hard work. I’m a proud dog mom of three, an adventure chaser at heart, and someone who fully believes life should be lived now, not “when we retire.”

I specialize in trauma-informed care and EMDR, and I love helping clients rewrite old stories, reconnect with their strengths, and feel more grounded, confident, and free.

When I’m not in session, I’m usually off collecting memories from around the world. I’ve swam with sharks (yes, on purpose), hung out with kangaroos, braved the fastest bungee swing on the planet, snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef, zipped through cloud forests, tackled white-water rapids, and said “why not?” to just about every adventure that’s come my way. And when I’m home, I’m all about beach days, salty hair, good vibes, UFC nights, and cheering through baseball season.

In the therapy room, I bring warmth, realness, and a little bit of playful energy. I meet you exactly where you are, help you make sense of what’s weighing you down, and walk with you as you build a life that feels more peaceful, empowered, and authentically you. If you’re ready for support that’s compassionate, down-to-earth, and a little adventurous, I’m here for you.
