About Sara

She offers straightforward support for people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, trauma, and depression.

Background and approach
Those roles shaped her skill at working with people during high-stress moments and transitions. Sara uses a strengths-based approach and borrows from several evidence-based techniques. In sessions she helps clients notice and challenge unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and practice new behaviors.
She also uses mindfulness and narrative methods to help people understand their stories and move forward. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Sara often breaks larger goals into small, doable steps and checks in on progress from week to week.
She aims to create clear strategies for managing anger, reducing anxiety, improving mood, and handling conflict. People who prefer a direct, skill-focused style tend to do well with her. She supports progress at a steady pace and adapts techniques to each person’s needs.
For those ready to try online work, she provides multiple session formats to fit different schedules and lifestyles.

How evidence-based methods work online
Many of Sara's approaches come from evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical behavior strategies teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for managing anger and intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sara works collaboratively with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what the person prefers.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep steady progress without rearranging a full day.
