ABOUT ME

Sarah is a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is deeply committed to helping individuals on their journey toward self-discovery, self-advocacy, and self-belief. She firmly believes that true growth and transformation occur when individuals are given the opportunity to express their authentic selves and shine in their own unique way.

Sarah's educational background includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Southern Mississippi. Eager to make a positive impact in her community, she quickly immersed herself in her work. She began by collaborating with youth and their families who had experienced complex trauma, recognizing the profound impact that trauma can have on individuals and their relationships. This early experience shaped her understanding of the importance of trauma-informed care and the need for healing and growth within families and communities.

Sarah has extensive experience working with individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, ADHD, anxiety, major life transitions, PTSD, and multigenerational trauma. She understands that these challenges often stem from complex interactions between individuals and their broader social systems. Taking a family systems perspective, Sarah recognizes the interconnectedness of relationships and the influence of systemic factors on individuals' well-being.

Why I Do This Work

“I’ve come to see how powerful it is when people are met with curiosity, care, and space to show up as their full selves. My passion lies in creating room for voices and identities that have too often been overlooked. I believe in the quiet transformation that happens when someone feels safe enough to speak their truth, in a way that honors where they’ve been and where they’re going.”

My Approach in Practice

In our work together, I hold a steady space where your full self - past, present, and in-between is welcome. I approach therapy through a systemic lens, which means I pay attention to how your relationships, community, and history shape what you're carrying.

Depending on your needs, we may work somatically, gently attuning to the cues of your body, or take time to untangle intergenerational patterns and core beliefs. I often draw from family systems, narrative work, and trauma-informed practices to support safety and clarity.

I believe that healing doesn’t have to be rushed or linear. I believe in going at the pace that feels right, allowing space for both quiet reflection and active exploration.

Clients often come to me when they are:

• Struggling to navigate family dynamics especially when there’s tension between personal boundaries and cultural expectations of loyalty, respect, or silence.

• Trying to hold multiple parts of themselves at once like being the oldest daughter, a queer person of color, a caregiver, or a cycle-breaker and unsure where their own needs fit in.

• Feeling guilt, grief, or resentment around caregiving roles and looking for ways to stay in relationship without losing themselves.

• Carrying legacies that didn’t start with them and wondering how much of their pain belongs to their own story and how much was passed down.

• Wanting to relate to themselves with more gentleness especially when it’s hard to turn off the inner critic shaped by family, faith, or survival.
