Meet Sara

Hey, I'm Sara (she/her)

Hey, I’m Sara (she/her). I’m an EMDRIA Certified Therapist & EMDR consultant-in-training with over a decade of experience in trauma work — including advocacy, education, and supporting survivors of IPV. I bring all of that expertise to our work together, in a space that’s safe, relational, and collaborative.

I’m a Northern transplant, born and raised in Connecticut. My toxic trait? Getting distracted by clients’ pets mid-session! I was a first-generation college student and a student-athlete (softball pitcher). And yes, I liked the color pink and Taylor Swift before they were cool.

I’m a huge animal lover—I rescue Betta fish, foster dogs, and spoil my three rescue beagles. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me lifting weights, binge-listening to pop culture podcasts, watching Bravo, or gardening. Oh, and of course, you can catch me in my own therapist’s office too!

How I Work

I believe attachment and relational trauma heal in relationship. In sessions, you’ll be met with compassion, clarity, and intention. I integrate EMDR with trauma-informed, strengths-based care to help you rebuild self-trust, deepen insight, and strengthen your relationships — all while honoring the wisdom you already carry inside you.

I guide the process with skill and experience, while you remain the expert of your own story. That means I provide education, explain diagnoses, discuss treatment options, and collaborate on your plan — giving you space to say yes, ask questions, or suggest adjustments if something doesn’t feel right.

I work from an intersectional, feminist lens, attending to how power, identity, and social structures shape your story.

Who I Work With

I support adults navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, relational challenges, and the lasting impact of emotionally immature caregivers or interpersonal harm. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while carrying deep emotional weight inside. If you’re seeking therapy that feels collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in both expertise and care — you’re in the right place.

Our Values

Authenticity – You don’t have to perform here.
Connection – Relationship is central to healing.
Growth – We focus on insight, resilience, and meaningful change.
Social Justice – Your identity and lived experience matter.

The Fun Stuff

I’m a Northern transplant, born and raised in Connecticut. My toxic trait? Getting distracted by clients’ pets mid-session. I was a first-generation college student and a former student-athlete (softball pitcher). And yes — I loved Taylor Swift and the color pink before they were cool.

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me lifting weights, binge-listening to pop culture podcasts, or watching Bravo. And of course, I’m also in my own therapist’s office, because I believe in practicing what I teach.
