About Sara
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 5 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I help clients slow down, understand their emotions, and develop healthier patterns that feel sustainable. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative, offering space to explore challenges, build coping skills, and feel more grounded and connected in everyday life.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Troy University and have clinical experience in behavioral health settings. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based tools, strength-based approaches, and solution-focused techniques to support emotional regulation, insight, and long-term well-being.
I would be honored to support you as you navigate whatever you are facing. Together, we can create space for clarity, relief, and meaningful change at a pace that feels steady and empowering. If you are ready to begin—or simply curious about how therapy with me might help—I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

"As a therapist and a person who has done my own work, I meet clients with genuine empathy, steady support, and a belief in their ability to grow."
Get to know Sara
Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?
I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to understanding people on a deeper level — what they carry, what they fear, what they hope for, and what helps them feel seen. Over the years I’ve witnessed how powerful it can be when someone finally has a space where they don’t have to pretend or push through. Becoming a therapist felt like the most meaningful way to support people in those moments and help them find relief, clarity, and confidence in themselves.
What types of clients do you work best with?
I work best with adults who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally drained from trying to manage everything themselves. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, people-pleasing, or carrying too much responsibility at home or work. I’m a good fit for people who want a grounded, supportive space where they can slow down, understand what they’re feeling, and build healthier patterns.
What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?
I wish all clients knew that healing isn’t about being “perfect” or getting everything right — it’s about showing up, being honest with yourself, and taking small steps forward. Progress may feel slow at times, but those small shifts add up in powerful ways.
What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?
In our first session, clients can expect a calm, welcoming space where we get to know each other and begin exploring what brought them to therapy. I’ll ask about what you’ve been experiencing, what you need right now, and what you hope to get out of our work together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once — we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
In the early stages of therapy, we’ll focus on building trust, identifying patterns, and developing a shared understanding of your goals. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels realistic and supportive.
What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?
My practice is shaped by values like compassion, authenticity, boundaries, and resilience. I believe people deserve a space where they can be honest about what they’re carrying without being judged or rushed. I show up as a therapist who is both supportive and straightforward, because I value helping clients feel seen while also empowering them to make meaningful changes.
How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?
I recognize that every client has different responsibilities, stressors, and capacities. I tailor therapy by offering tools that fit your real life, not an ideal version of it. I adjust sessions based on your energy, emotional bandwidth, and what’s happening week to week, so therapy remains supportive rather than overwhelming.
