Sara is a Perinatal Mental Health Certified Therapist. Sara has a passion for helping women navigate the challenges of women’s mental health and reproductive mental health. Becoming and being a parent can come with many challenges. Between infertility, pregnancy loss, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and other isolating challenges, knowing when to reach out for support can be difficult but crucial. Finding time for yourself to share your struggles with a supportive, well-trained clinician can be a gift to yourself and your partner.

Sara has worked in schools and homes, all of which inform her lens of the world and approach toward her clients and students. Sara understands the unique challenges that life presents at different stages and offers a warm, non-judgmental space to work collaboratively toward her client’s goals. It is Sara’s privilege and joy to help her clients become their most authentic selves.
