Specialties
Passionate. Empathetic. Transformative
Childhood Trauma
My focus in individual therapy for childhood trauma is to create a safe, compassionate space where healing can begin. Childhood trauma can manifest in so many ways, from anxiety to difficulty forming relationships, and my goal is to help you untangle those complex emotions and experiences. Together, we explore the impacts of the trauma, gently working through memories, triggers, and reactions. I use evidence-based practices like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and DBT to support you in processing your pain, building resilience, and ultimately finding a sense of peace and empowerment.
PTSD
My approach to treating individuals with PTSD focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can process their trauma at their own pace. I work collaboratively to identify triggers, manage overwhelming emotions, and reframe negative beliefs that often stem from traumatic experiences. By integrating evidence-based practices like EMDR, IFS, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I aim to empower clients to regain a sense of control, reduce symptoms like flashbacks and hypervigilance, and ultimately restore a sense of safety and balance in their lives. My goal is to walk alongside them, fostering resilience and healing every step of the way.
Women in Recovery
I specialize in working with women in recovery, helping them navigate the complex emotional and psychological challenges that come with this journey. In our individual therapy sessions, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore the impact of addiction on your life, relationships, and sense of self. Together, we focus on building resilience, reclaiming personal power, and developing coping strategies that foster long-term healing. My goal is to support you as you reconnect with your strengths, process difficult emotions, and cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling future.

Sara is amazing. She has helped me in so many ways. I’ve worked with many therapists and never felt like therapy helped me until I met Sara. She has provided me with a safe place to talk openly and honestly without the fear of judgement. She has the ability to make me feel heard and validated while also keeping it real. She is the most knowledgeable person I know. To say she has changed my life for the better would be an absolute understatement.

Sara at Bonafide Therapy is incredible! She truly embodies person-centered care. She exudes compassion and empathy, which makes the creation of a safe space necessary for clients to be able to share their own truth to be realized very quickly, if not automatically. She is highly trained and an exceptional therapist. I highly recommend Bonafide Therapy for anyone interested is starting the process or transitioning from previous therapeutic work.
