Sarah specializes in working with high-achieving women who feel pressure to “have it all together”—on stage, in the spotlight, or behind the scenes. Many of her clients are professional performers, athletes, public figures, or partners of individuals in the public eye. Others carry the invisible responsibility of being the dependable one—the pastor’s kid, the golden child, or the achiever others rely on.

​

Sarah believes much of human distress develops in the absence of safe connection. Intimacy, defined as closeness, can feel risky for individuals who have learned that performance, achievement, or approval equals safety. Yet it is within attuned, trustworthy relationships that both wounds and healing occur.

​

She strives to make the therapy room and therapeutic relationship a place of safety, trust, honesty, and grounded compassion. Sarah approaches her work through a trauma-informed lens, recognizing how past experiences shape present patterns, relationships, and ways of coping. She believes healing does not require falling apart; rather, it often looks like becoming more fully oneself.

Within her expertise, Sarah enjoys working with individuals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, body image concerns, and disordered eating patterns. She also has a particular interest in supporting women through the perinatal and postpartum seasons, including pregnancy, birth, and the emotional and identity shifts that follow. This work may include processing birth-related trauma, navigating changes in body image, managing heightened anxiety, and adjusting to new roles and expectations.

Sarah is a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist and EMDR Certified therapist with thousands of hours of clinical experience. Her approach blends insight-oriented therapy with evidence-based interventions. She frequently integrates EMDR with parts work to support trauma healing, helping clients process past experiences, understand internal conflicts, and develop more compassionate ways of relating to themselves.
