Hello,
I’m Sarah!
I’m a Florida-based therapist who spends my time balancing sessions, snacks, and storybooks with my husband Garrett and our son (& another baby boy on the way!) When I’m not working or momming, you can find me baking banana bread, watching nostalgic rom-coms or reading a good book. As a Christian, I view mental health through a lens of grace, truth, and hope. I believe therapy can honor both science and Scripture and that we don’t have to choose one over the other. I’m glad you’re here!
Let’s connect
Join the fun!
