Sara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from the University of New England in 2013. She provides evidence-based, personalized therapy in a warm and welcoming environment where clients can feel comfortable being their authentic selves.

Sara takes a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing the connection between mental and physical well-being and the many factors that shape how we feel and function throughout life.

Sara works with adults and teenagers across many stages of life, with specialties including anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), military service members and their families, clients living with physical or chronic illnesses, and individuals navigating major life transitions such as parenthood, family and relationship challenges, and perimenopause and menopause.

She brings humor, compassion, and curiosity to each session while helping clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful and manageable change. Sara incorporates nervous system regulation techniques into therapy and welcomes difficult or uncomfortable conversations. She believes there is value in saying the things you may have been afraid to say out loud.

Sara has experience working with clients across a wide range of ages. Her previous experience includes working as a therapist in community healthcare with at-risk populations and working with domestic violence victims for the Department of Defense. She is currently working toward certification as an Integrative Mental Health Clinician and is being trained in EMDR.

In her own words: “I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and supported. Therapy is a compassionate, whole-body approach that nurtures the mind, body, and soul, guided by evidence-based care, curiosity, and a desire to learn and evolve. I look forward to partnering with you to fulfill your goals and to grow to your fullest potential.”
