Sarah believes every person already holds a deep wisdom and wholeness, even when survival has taught them to disconnect from it. Her work centers on complex trauma and C-PTSD, and she especially loves working with clients who have done therapy before and are ready to go deeper. Often they are people who understand their story but still feel caught in old patterns like people-pleasing, self-criticism, over-functioning, isolation, or numbing out. She creates a space where clients can take the risk of truly being seen, and where healing can happen at whatever pace it needs.

Sarah’s approach is holistic and culturally responsive. She draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Feminist Multicultural Therapy, EMDR, Buddhist principles, and mind-body practices to help clients befriend their protective parts, process painful emotions and memories, and steady their nervous systems. She always centers the person in front of her over any single method. Her approach is affirming and anti-oppressive, honoring the lived experiences of LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent clients.

Sarah’s path into mental health began in 2015 as a psychiatric technician at the Utah State Hospital, supporting people living with serious mental illness. She later worked as a preschool teacher. Both roles deepened her commitment to caring for vulnerable people and showed her how much harm comes from societal neglect of mental health. Her own healing journey taught her how powerful connection, respect, and warmth can be, and she brings those same qualities to every session. Sarah earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Utah and is continuing her training in NARM.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find Sarah listening to R&B, writing, dancing, watching cozy shows, and connecting with loved ones and the Salt Lake City community.
