Sara Smith (she/her/hers)

I am trained in S.A.F.E. (somatic and attachment focused) EMDR and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level II. Trauma is complex and trauma treatment requires an individualized approach. Some want to reprocess memories right away, while others prefer to share a narrative. I can help you understand the neurological and physiological impacts from trauma, and identify coping strategies to create safety, and reduce feelings of shame and self-loathing. We will do what works best for you.

Self-help books breaking the bank? Feeling stuck in life? Who would you be without all those self-doubting beliefs? It’s hard to move forward when your vision for the future is unclear. Deepening self-awareness takes courage. It is identifying and removing what no longer serves you, exploring your shadow self, nurturing your inner child, and learning to have self-compassion for all parts of yourself. If this sounds up your alley, then let’s start exploring the Unique Story of You!

With so much collectively going on in the world it can be challenging to take the space for yourself to honor your grief from the loss of a loved one. Other losses also need time to heal. Caregivers, counselors, and medical professionals are experiencing an increase in compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout. I combine my knowledge as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional to help you enter space of healing.
