Hi there! My name is Sara and I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 8 years working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings but my specialties are perinatal mental health, postpartum depression and anxiety, parenting, and life transitions.
I recognize the struggle of modern parenthood, and the solitude in which many parents find themselves. It is difficult to be the whole village raising children. There is also a sense of putting the needs of children and family before yourself, and losing your identity in the process. I aim to help parents balance their identity and needs with the needs of their families. I take an unstructured approach and help clients work on the issues that are most deeply meaningful and relevant to them where they are at in that moment. While there may be a goal in mind, life is fluid and ever changing, and my approach reflects that fluidity.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, and I hope to hear from you soon!

Sara has been absolutely great. My first counselor on BetterHelp didn’t work out, so I was a bit skeptical. But connecting with Sara has worked out so well. I’ve made a lot of progress in our short time together, so that we are now working on new things that I didn’t even think about when I started. She’s always very responsive and caring. And I can tell she is really listening and hearing what I am saying, and gives me a better understanding of why I am feeling certain things and how to address and work on them.
