Background and approach
Mindfulness practices help calm racing thoughts and ground attention in the present. Sara has ten years of experience helping people with relationships, communication problems, and career pressures. She also supports individuals coping with grief, self-esteem concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and compassion fatigue.
ADHD and attachment-related concerns are among other areas she addresses. Her work is practical and goal-oriented. Sessions often focus on identifying small changes that lead to steady improvement.
She helps people rehearse new skills, practice communication, and set achievable steps for change. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with action. Sara aims to help people feel more capable when facing family stress, divorce and separation issues, blended family challenges, or the emotional effects of adoption and foster care.
She practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
Approach and online options for therapy
Sara often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address worry, avoidance, and daily stress. Client-centered work means she listens closely and shapes sessions around what the person brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These tools can help with rumination, sleep problems, and emotional overwhelm. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer frequent, shorter check-ins and can help maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, and other commitments.
