Sarah is a mental health therapist who finds deep meaning in helping children, families, and adults move toward healing, connection, and lives that reflect their truest values. She supports clients with a wide range of concerns, with a special focus on developmental trauma, behavioral challenges, and emotional regulation. Her approach is relational, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and rooted in attachment theory, with advanced training in play therapy, mindfulness, and body-based practices. Sarah is committed to providing care that is neurodiversity-affirming (and celebratory!), LGBTQIA+ affirming (and celebratory!), anti-racist, anti-ableist, and grounded in intersectionality.

Sarah has worked in diverse settings, including private practice, a community-based acute trauma center in Chicago, a juvenile detention center, and foster care. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her master’s in Clinical Psychology. Alongside her clinical work, Sarah offers presentations on child development and mental health, advocates for students at IEP meetings, consults with teachers and schools, and provides supervision for child therapists. Across her work, she strives to create spaces where children and adults experience belonging, safety, and the tangible supports needed to thrive as their most authentic selves.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys reconnecting with her rural roots through quiet walks in the woods, finding creative ways to avoid cooking, and saving Pinterest projects she’ll never start. She’s happiest snuggled on the couch with her beloved family and three mischievous pets.
