Meet Sarah
LCSW, TRAUMA AND INTEGRATIVE HEALTH SPECIALIST
The eternal question of “Who Am I”
has taken me on quite the journey.
Wrestling for a long time with the pressure to fit into society’s neat little boxes, I realized something profound—I can’t live and breathe in a box. None of us can.
When I’m not taking a new class or working to uncover another layer of myself, you’ll find me with Fred, a four-legged friend who has taught me much about joy and connection. Together, we love to explore the outdoors, dance to live music, and pursue the truth—whatever the hell that means.
This is my story.
I AM EXPANSIVE
I AM EVER CHANGING, EVER EVOLVING
I AM LOUD
I AM QUIET
I AM INVISIBLY CAPTIVATING
My career began with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, though I opted against a traditional teaching role. I believe in fostering environments that prioritize healthy human development and well-being, which led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Social Work.
But, after ten plus years in clinical Western mental health, working with people of all ages dealing with trauma, I began noticing flaws in that system, too. (It’s difficult for this Double Sag, Pisces soul to conform.) Our system is missing the mark on addressing the depth of trauma people are facing, is too quick to label normal human experiences as disorders, and seems committed to discounting the knowledge of the mind-body connection.
In the backdrop of this professional understanding, there was the unfolding of my own personal story of trauma and chronic illness that led to a deeper and clearer knowing that the root cause of most mental health issues lies in the disconnection from our authentic Self, leading to physical, emotional, and spiritual disease.
I feed off of the sun, adventure, and authenticity.
So I went on a bit of a journey...
I explored alternative approaches, seeking out therapies and practices that honor the complexity of human experience. I got certified in EMDR Basic Training, became Internal Family Systems informed, and earned Certificates of Traumatic Stress Studies and Complex Trauma from the Trauma Research Foundation. I am actively working on completing an Integrative Medicine and Trauma Certification with a long term goal of receiving a degree. I continue to take courses on Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, Quantum biology, Nervous system repair, and more.
Alongside these somewhat more traditional methods, I also immersed myself in the realms of energy work, astrology, fascial release, spiritual awakening, and esoteric studies as a way to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the human condition. I am certified to practice Quantum Reiki, received Level 3 Astrology training, and have completed spiritual studies with different mentors across time.
Now, I'm creating a space where healing and growth are the goal. Since our systems often fail to support healthy human development, it’s essential to address these needs at an individual and community level.
I'm here to walk with you in transcending trauma and embracing your true self, in a way that feels authentic and integrative.
