(she/her)
Hi! I’m Sara. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider (PMH-C), offering online therapy to adults throughout Kentucky. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and all the things that can make life feel a little overwhelming. I'm especially passionate about supporting women and parents through pregnancy, postpartum, and the many changes that come with parenthood. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgement or pressure to have everything figured out.
Our first session is really about getting to know each other. I'll ask questions about what's been going on in your life, what's bringing you to therapy, and what you're hoping might feel different. We'll talk a little bit about your history, your current challenges, and what you'd like to work toward together. There's no expectation to share everything in one sitting, and you certainly don't need to have all the answers. My hope is that you'll leave feeling a little more comfortable, a little more understood, and with a sense of what our work together might look like.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with people and meet them where they are. I don't believe therapy has to feel very formal or intimidating. There's room for hard conversations, honest reflection, and even a little laughter along the way. I'll listen without judgement, offer a different perspective when it's helpful, and gently challenge you when you need it. My goal is for you to feel comfortable being yourself while also feeling encouraged and supported in making meaningful changes in your life.
I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not quite like themselves lately. Maybe you're navigating anxiety, working through difficult experiences, adjusting to a new chapter of life, or finding that the things you've always done to cope aren't working quite like they used to. I also have a special place in my heart for supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the many changes that come with motherhood. You don't have to know exactly what you need or where to begin. Sometimes, just knowing something needs to feel different is enough of a starting point.
I recognize that our past experiences can shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, ad navigate the world around us. In our work together, I'll take the time to understand your experiences and how they may be showing up in your life today. I believe it's important that you feel safe, supported, and in control of your own story. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, utilizing trauma-informed approaches and other practical tools when they're a good fit for your needs and goals.
