Who Am I?
Welcome! My name is Sara and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Lamar University. I am here to help provide support as you navigate life’s challenges. I am very open-minded and have been told I bring “good energy” into the room with me. I truly want my clients to feel empowered and genuinely care about your wellbeing. I recognize that taking the step to seek counseling can be uncomfortable, and I’m ready to meet you where you are on your wellness journey.
I love working with:
● Teenagers and young adults
● Creatives
● Individuals going through life transitions
● Adults who want to learn to communicate more effectively
● Individuals experiencing anxiety or depression
● Survivors of trauma
● Individuals struggling with self-esteem
● LGBTQIA+ community
Some of my favorite approaches include:
● EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
● Somatic Therapy (Mind-Body Connection)
● “Parts Work” (IFS)
What it’s like in a session with me:
My goal is for you to be as comfortable as you can in our space and time together so that you can let your guard down to explore the difficult stuff. I always love when a client says they are leaving a session feeling lighter. I bring authenticity to the relationship in hopes that you feel you can do the same. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment based on empathy. I will blend therapeutic approaches based on your individual needs and preferences most often using EMDR, Somatic Exercises, CBT, DBT, and Parts Work.
More about me:
I was a high school dance teacher and drill team director for a decade. I am still involved in the dance world and enjoy providing psychoeducation, mental wellness, and leadership workshops to dancers. I’ve been incorporating mindfulness and therapeutic dance into my own wellness journey. I have two sweet fur babies with their own unique personalities. Jax is my squirrel hunter and loves to be outside, and Nala is my princess who hates getting wet and will steal your pillow. I also like going to Dallas Stars games!
