Meet Sara

Hi, I’m Sara—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University and am currently working toward my Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). In addition to private practice, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including community agencies, partial-hospitalization programs, outpatient care, and group therapy.

Areas of Experience:

Teens (12+)

  • Depression & Anxiety

  • Communication & Boundary-setting skills

  • Conflict Resolution

  • Executive Functioning

Adults (18+)

  • Depression & Anxiety

  • Perinatal Mental Health, including:

    • Infertility/Fertility challenges

    • Postpartum Anxiety & Depression

    • Postnatal Trauma

My practice is rooted in warmth, collaboration, and evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions. I strive to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel supported in their healing and growth. I value strong therapeutic relationships and take a collaborative, compassionate approach to overcoming life’s challenges together.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, getting outdoors, and hanging out with my pup, Kylo-Ren.
