Hey there!! I'm Sara. Sometimes we just need someone to listen. We're all human, we all struggle, and despite what many think... that's what normal looks like. With me, you'll be in a safe, non-judgmental place to share whatever you feel led. I am very laid back and work at the pace you feel comfortable. I will strive to help you find the things inside of you that will help you overcome past struggles and allow you to grow. I believe that it's not my place to advise you on what you should do, but encourage you to make the changes that best fit your season of life.
In our first session, we will go over your history and talk about what you are seeking to gain in treatment. This is YOUR treatment and you are the number one person in charge of how we proceed. My goal is to help you help yourself achieve the goals you are seeking. You are the author of your own story.
As a provider, I strive to be encouraging, positive, motivating, non-judgmental, and relatable. My goal as a therapist is to help you find the strength within yourself to make changes you want to make that will improve the quality of your life.
In addition to providing therapy on Grow, I work in an intensive outpatient program for senior citizens battling depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Though I am willing to work with any demographics, I specialize in older adults, teens, and parents.

Christian Counseling
I believe Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Christian Counseling are similar in how the ultimate goal is to learn how to look at the world and your situation from a different perspective. I use CBT and faith-based therapy with those who are interested. Religion is not something I force upon anyone and would only implement this method when requested.

I felt a genuine connection with Sara and she was very attentive to what I was saying. She offered insight without judgement and was focused on what I felt was most important for my journey to healing. I am definitely looking forward to learning new skills and how to navigate through life with my trauma.

I’ve begun to look forward to our sessions and I feel as if I’m understood and seen. She is so warm and inviting! I always feel as if I can express myself and I actually receive amazing feedback and have already made so much progress.

Sara is authentic, warm, and compassionate. She encouraged me and put me at ease. I was nervous about my computer skills, but the connection worked seamlessly. Sara kindly helped me devise a plan for the counseling ahead. She gave me hope. I look forward to having her come along side me in the days of living through the loss of my husband.
