Sara begins her work with you as a person-centered therapist from a place of warm, honest empathy. During the first few sessions, she’ll learn deeply about you, your background, and your goals. Sara uses an integrative approach to help you reach your goals: mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), relational skills, practical life skills, and career counseling. She uses a feedback-informed approach to ensure she stays on track toward your goals.

As a fellow human, Sara has been through some real struggles in her personal life: cancer, a faith crisis, religious transition, divorce, remarriage, a blended family, birth trauma, and raising an autistic child (and having some autistic traits herself). She can sit with you as you navigate hard times in your own life.

Sara navigated the dating apps successfully toward the goal of a healthy, committed relationship. She can help you as a dating coach as you seek love and secure attachment.

Sara is incredibly passionate about existential therapy, following the work of Irvin Yalom. In existential therapy, you explore the core aspects of human existence: death, freedom, isolation, and meaning. You can find healing and a more meaningful life by facing these challenges with courage.

Sara received her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. She received a bachelor’s degree in English from Brigham Young University and a second bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Utah Valley University.

Sara is an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah.
