Specialties
Passionate. Empathetic. Transformative
Childhood Trauma
Early experiences leave lasting imprints on how we see and navigate the world. Childhood trauma shapes our ability to feel safe, trust others, and fully express our emotions. These patterns can show up later in life as anxiety, relationship struggles, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a deep, unexplainable sense of unease.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore how these early wounds continue to live in your body, beliefs, and behaviors. By bringing curiosity and compassion to your story, we begin to loosen the grip of past experiences. The goal is to support lasting change by helping you build inner safety, self-trust, and a more grounded connection to who you truly are.
Abuse and Complex PTSD
Abuse in any form can be disorienting and destabilizing. The impact often goes far beyond the events themselves. I believe in creating a safe, validating space where we can begin to untangle the complex aftermath of abuse at your own pace.
Together, we explore both the visible and hidden impacts of the trauma and how it has shaped your nervous system, your relationships, your sense of identity, and your ability to trust yourself.
The goal isn’t just symptom relief but helping you reclaim your voice, rebuild inner safety, and reconnect with the parts of you that were silenced, shamed, or forgotten.
Bipolar Disorder
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like being pulled between emotional extremes — periods of high energy, racing thoughts, and restlessness, followed by deep lows that make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. These shifts can impact your relationships, work, identity, and overall sense of stability.
In therapy, we create a grounded, nonjudgmental space to better understand these cycles and how they’re showing up in your life. Together, we work toward building emotional regulation, strengthening self-awareness, and helping you feel more in control — not just of your mood, but of your life as a whole.

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.
