About My Clients
I’m passionate about supporting step-families navigating the complexities of blending households, ministry leaders who give deeply to others but need space to be cared for themselves, and individuals or couples impacted by betrayal or sexual addiction. With training in the Gottman Method and certification through American Association for Sex Addiction Therapy, I offer structured tools while walking with clients through challenges like depression, anxiety, and relational pain.
My Background and Approach
Sara holds an M.A. in Marriage & Family Therapy from Liberty University and an M.A. in Pastoral Studies from Multnomah Seminary. She's AAMSAT-certified and Gottman Method trained, with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with couples in serious conflict, individuals navigating sexual addiction and betrayal trauma, and blended families. Her approach blends EFT, Gottman, and SFBT — taking time to fully understand what you're carrying before ever reaching for solutions. She also supervises The Couch's counseling interns.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Sara believes that sexual addiction never exists in isolation, it surfaces in the lives of ministry leaders carrying impossible expectations, couples who can't name what's breaking them, and individuals silently wrestling with shame they've never spoken aloud. She believes that silence can break safely, without judgment and without platitudes. She comes into the room with couples wanting them to win, not just manage conflict better, but actually stop having the same fight. She reads shutdowns and frustration not as failure but as a signal that something important hasn't felt safe enough to be said yet. She believes the right tools only work when they fit the right problem, which is why she never rushes to solutions before she understands what's really going on. Her goal for every client: leave equipped to handle whatever life puts in front of them.
