Sara’s highly crafted and specialized background at the intersections of trauma, the LGBTQ+ experience, and systemic issues offers clients a unique and powerful opportunity to set be seen and understood in their wholeness, as they truly are. Her time as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor includes exclusively working with her preferred topics and populations, including several years as the primary therapist at the HIV Alliance in Eugene Oregon. She now offers clients accelerated healing and growth through brainspotting services and therapy intensives because thriving in a changing world requires therapy that can adapt with you and fit into your busy life while being concentrated enough to change your life quickly rather than waiting months or years for healing and relief.
We all have the capacity for healing and personal empowerment but life can get in the way! It seems like life knows just when to replace every chair at the table with a cactus. You want to detach from painful past experiences, start liking yourself again, and start really living your truth. Your relationships keep feeling hallow and disconnected. Worry about rejection or safety starts feeling normal. You're barely keeping up with things, let alone trying to add in a therapy appointment each week! But you can feel it. You just can't keep avoiding these simmering feelings anymore because they keep coming back, they just keep coming back. I'm glad you are here, you're in the right place. Being truly known by anyone takes a ton of courage and trust. I help people see themselves in a new way, creating self-compassion and the courage to build a happier, more meaningful, and more authentic life. Providing highly individualized care is non-negotiable as is a consistently non-judgmental space to process and heal. I look forward to helping you build clarity, empowerment, and authenticity into your life without you sacrificing years in therapy in the process.

Sara and Prism Counseling have great expertise and an incredible commitment to excellence. Her work is trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ allied and she cares deeply about helping her clients.
Sara is an extremely skilled and compassionate trauma therapist, specializing in sexual and gender diversity. Sara has the toolkit to help you process and dismantle the beliefs and past experiences that are keeping you stuck. Sara will guide you on your healing journey in an inclusive, attuned, intentional, and supportive manner. I have been lucky enough to experience Brainspotting with Sara. Sara was incredibly attuned and supportive in all the right ways during our session. With Brainspotting, clinicians often have a hard time with the silence; Sara was attuned in a way that I have not experienced with other clinicians. I highly recommend Sara!
She will meet you with utmost respect and will truly take her time to completely understand a client's perspective. She will also go above and beyond to provide the support that is needed.
