Sara sees children ages 5 and up, teens, adults, families and groups.
Specialties:
I enjoy and have experience working with several age groups and populations. I see children ages 5 and up, teens, adults, families and groups. My specialties include work with anxiety, depression, identity issues and LGBTQ concerns; as well as complex trauma and severe mood and thought disorders. I have specialized training working with anxiety and complex trauma, including dissociative disorders. I have completed two training programs in Gestalt Therapy. I embrace a humanistic, holistic approach and include CBT in my work. I enjoy connecting with clients to overcome struggles with life stressors, difficult relationships with family, friends or others; and overwhelming emotions that may be holding us back from our best selves and our best life. I work with clients struggling with self harm, long term depression, trauma and dissociation. I have a special interest and work with clients on attachment styles and how they may have influence into adulthood and impact current relationships.
My treatment approaches include Person-Centered, Gestalt, Psychoeducation with symptom management, The Structural Dissociation Model for Trauma, (a combination of Internal Family Systems and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy), Trauma Model Therapy and NeuroScience informed CBT for anxiety and PTSD.
I am skilled and experienced working with clients with short term life stressors and clients with longer term and more complex issues. It is so critical to have a good fit and a connected working relationship between client and therapist. I look forward to connecting with you on your journey to wellness, being your best self, and living your best life.
