Sarah (she/her) is a clinical intern currently completing her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regis University. Drawing on her background in equine-assisted psychotherapy, Sarah understands healing as something that happens in connection with another being, with the body, and with the present moment. She brings a grounded, relational presence into the therapy room, helping clients build trust in themselves and in the process of change. Sarah works from an Internal Family Systems and person-centered lens, believing that every part

of a client, even the ones that feel difficult or confusing, exists for a reason and deserves curiosity rather than judgment. She has a particular interest in trauma, grief, and life transitions, including the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent, and she is especially passionate about working with Hispanic and LGBTQ+ clients. Drawing on both her clinical training and her

own lived experience, Sarah holds space for clients to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been waiting to be heard. Sarah holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University, where her honors thesis examined the role of emotion regulation in binge eating symptoms. Her path to counseling has been shaped by varied experiences from assisting in equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions

for clients with PTSD, anxiety, and addiction, to supporting housing stability for individuals navigating mental health challenges. This breadth of experience grounds her commitment to compassionate, individualized care that honors the whole person.

Sarah is accepting new clients for in-person and virtual support.
