About me

I completed my Masters of Social Work at Wayne State University. I am a fully licensed clinical social worker. I have been working with individuals, couples and families since 2018. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but have experience with other therapy styles as well. I have worked with people who experience MDD, GAD, BPD, ADHD, PTSD, DMDD and symptoms that may not meet full diagnostic criteria.

I have experience working with teens who may be actively self-harming or have a self-harm history. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and will support any teen who may be questioning their orientation or identity. I will provide a neutral space for feelings to be felt! My hope is that together we can work towards better mental health and a greater understanding of yourself.

I feel so incredibly lucky that I found Sara. Years of therapy and she is by far the best at meeting me where I’m at and working with me at a pace that is manageable to meet my goals. I look forward to our sessions every week because I always walk away feeling empowered to confront my issues with confidence.
