  • Female
  • LPC

I just met her today but she was very encouraging. " -Betzaida F. from CO

Sara has gained clinical experience across settings, including crisis, correctional healthcare, and outpatient. Sara’s therapeutic style is highly person-centered, flexible, encouraging, empowering, and exploratory. Sara’s clinical strengths and areas of interest include women’s issues, complex and childhood trauma (CPTSD), and ADHD. She emphasizes connecting the dots between present-day distress and the past, for a better present and future. She emphasizes positive change, transformation, and expansion, not just symptom management.

During her free time, Sara enjoys reading, writing, creating art, language learning, spiritual and metaphysical studies, music, and exploring the wilderness and surrounding her home in hopes of finding treasures like semi-precious stones, and antlers. Successful treasure hunt or not, watching the abundance of wildlife is always a joy for her!
