Offering online therapy throughout Tennessee and Mississippi, with in-network options for BCBS, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist, but more importantly, I'm someone who believes therapy works best when you feel like you can actually be yourself in the room.

​

You don't have to say things perfectly, know where to begin, or worry about whether what you're going through is "big enough" for therapy. My role is to meet you with curiosity, compassion, and honesty while helping you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, ACT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Sand Tray based on what feels most supportive for you. I also offer Brainspotting sessions for deeper emotional and trauma processing, particularly when experiences feel difficult to work through with words alone.

Support for what you're carrying

You may come to therapy for one thing and find that it connects to many other parts of your life. There’s room for all of that here. While I support clients through a wide range of experiences, the areas below are where much of my work, experience, and training are especially focused.

Anxiety + People Pleasing

For the overthinking, second-guessing, pressure, and worry that can make it difficult to trust yourself or know what you actually want and need.

Grief + Pregnancy Loss

A place for grief that doesn't need to be rushed, minimized, or made easier for anyone else to understand, including pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss.

Pregnancy + Postpartum

Support through pregnancy, postpartum, changing identities, relationships, expectations, and the emotional complexity of becoming a parent.

Trauma + Nervous System Support

Therapy that considers not only what you've experienced, but how those experiences continue to show up in your emotions, relationships, body, and nervous system.

These are just a few of my areas of focus. Explore my Services & Specialties page to learn more about each of these specialities, additional ways I can support you, and what therapy together might look like.

Support through pregnancy, postpartum, loss, and everything in between.

There is no single way to experience pregnancy or becoming a parent. It can hold excitement and fear, love and grief, certainty and doubt, sometimes all at once.

​

I provide online therapy for people navigating pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, pregnancy after loss, and the emotional and relational changes that can accompany this season of life.
