Introduction

Searching for a therapist is often about finding someone who "gets it"—someone who sees your strength even when you feel at your lowest. I am Sarah, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (IA/MO/WI) with over 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate their most difficult seasons. I believe in creating pathways to heal and helping you improve the connections in your life in a safe, judgment-free environment. How we’ll work together: Going beyond talk therapy: We’ll use deeper, evidence-based tools like EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help you process emotional pain that words alone often can't reach. Rooted in real experience: My background at Orchard Place and UnityPoint Health has given me a deep foundation in supporting teens and adults through trauma and life transitions. Practical & compassionate: We’ll pair "big picture" healing with practical, strengths-based steps you can use in your daily life. Accessible care: I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for clients. Ready to start? Use the "Request Appointment" button to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s see if we’re a good fit for your journey.
