Hi! I'm Sara. I'm a therapist who supports children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families navigating big emotions, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and life transitions.

I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults build emotional regulation skills, while also supporting parents with clarity, tools, and reassurance. My goal is to strengthen connection and confidence in a therapeutic space that's flexible, supportive, and personalized to each client's needs.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and developmentally informed. I strive to create a space where children, teens, and young adults feel safe and understood, and where parents feel supported rather than judged.

I commonly support clients with:

• Big emotions, meltdowns, and emotional outbursts
• Anxiety and worry in children, teens, and young adults
• Emotional regulation and impulse control challenges
• Behavioral concerns at home or school
• Self-esteem, confidence, and social skills
• Parent stress, burnout, and uncertainty
• Family communication, transitions, reunification

My approach includes DBT informed skills, CBT, Family systems work, and play-based, creative interventions. Together, we shape sessions to meet your needs, pace, and goals, drawing on what works best for you.

Education and Experience:

I earned my BSW from the University of North Texas and my MSW from Columbia University in New York. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), currently under supervision, with experience in school settings, inpatient units, and partial hospitalization programs. I am DBT-informed and have completed 29.5 hours of the Foundations Jump Start DBT training led by Shari Manning, PhD.

I aim to help you explore your feelings and thoughts in a way that honors your experience!
