Sara received her BA in Psychology from Smith College, and her Masters in Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work. Sara is trained in psychodynamic therapy, and incorporates motivational interviewing and ACT modalities in her work.

Sara believes in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a vessel for change, with attention to the impact of early life experiences and wounds. She strives to support individuals in cultivating lives that are rooted in an authentic sense of self, engaged in the present moment, and guided by what matters to the individual. Sara practices from a trauma-informed approach that supports the autonomy of those she works with, honoring the vulnerability of seeking help and engaging in the therapeutic process.

Sara works with adults across the lifespan, and has experience supporting individuals with issues of emerging adulthood, identity, self-esteem, substance use, and psychosis.
