Clients say this provider is
Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I received my Masters degree from CSU Fresno and have been practicing for over 6 years in the public sector in both individual and group therapy settings. I have worked with different populations such as children and teens, adults, the unhoused, veterans and in an impatient substance abuse facility.
For our first session we will get to know each other and make sure we are a good fit. We will also get into what is bringing you to therapy and create a plan for us to work on for upcoming sessions.
My greatest strengths as a provider are that I’m open-minded, genuinely interested in helping others, and have a great listening ear.
I enjoy working with adults of all ages who are having a hard time balancing life and all it has to throw at you, while asking yourself when will I have a chance to just breathe. My clients have the tools they need we just need to figure them out and practice how to use them.

I’ve been practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with clients for the past five years. In both individual and group settings, we’ve worked together to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that frequently influence each other in our daily lives. Eventually, we’ll utilize this information to obtain a better understanding of situations and react more efficiently. Our ultimate objective is to enhance our overall quality of life.
I’ve been honing my skills in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for the past five years, both in group and one-on-one settings. My goal is to help individuals build meaningful lives that align with their values while also teaching them effective strategies to manage their emotions and relationships. Through collaborative learning, we develop skills to identify and change harmful behaviors, cultivate self-acceptance, and develop coping mechanisms for stress. Ultimately, our objective is to achieve a sense of freedom, joy, and completeness in life.

Sara has allowed space for me to tap into what I'm feeling throughout the week while also challenging me to dig deeper through insightful questions and conversation.

Working with Sara has been an incredibly healing and empowering experience. I can actually see and feel myself growing. She’s encourages me to think for myself, challenges me in ways that feel supportive and help me see things from new and healthier views. I always feel safe, heard, and uplifted after our sessions. I’m very grateful for her.
