Hi, I’m Sara!
Whether you’re a parent looking for support for your child, a teenager trying to make sense of emotions, or a young adult navigating life’s next chapter, you’re in the right place.
I specialize in helping children, teens, young adults, and families navigate overwhelming emotions, challenging behaviors, and life’s transitions. I believe all behavior is communication, and together we can work to understand what’s beneath the behaviors, build emotion regulation skills, strengthen confidence, and create healthier patterns at home, at school, and in relationships.
I commonly support clients with
- Big emotions, meltdowns, and emotional outbursts
- Constant worry, overthinking, and reassurance seeking
- Trouble managing frustration or calming down after being upset
- School stress, avoiding school, or behavior concerns in the classroom
- Difficulty making or keeping friends
- Perfectionism or low self-confidence
- Parent/child conflict and feeling stuck in power struggles
- Family transitions, divorce, blended families, and reunification
- Life transitions
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s needs. I integrate DBT-informed skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and play-based creative interventions to help children and families build practical skills they can use outside of therapy.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of North Texas and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University in New York. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), practicing under clinical supervision, with experience in school settings, inpatient units, and partial hospitalization programs. I am DBT-informed and have completed the Foundations Jump Start DBT training led by Shari Manning, PhD.
A Few Words From Sara:
If you’ve never been to therapy before (or even if you have), here’s a secret: There’s no “right” answer and no requirement to have everything figured out before you walk in.
Therapy doesn’t have to look the way people imagine. Sometimes we’re playing a game, making art, or keeping busy with a fidget while we talk. Sometimes we’re laughing, sitting in silence, or working through an “I don’t know” until the words finally come. No matter your age, my goal will always be the same: To create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while we build practical skills, celebrate progress, and help things feel a bit more manageable! Finding the right therapist is important, and I hope this gives you a glimpse of what working together might be like. If it feels like we’re a good fit, I’d love the opportunity to meet you!
