A note from Sara:
I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel at ease and safe to explore the areas that need attention. I bring authenticity to the therapeutic relationship in hopes that you feel you can do the same, that includes dressing comfortably in session.
The UnEarthed studio is a unique space that doesn’t feel like you’re walking into an office or clinic. And our conversations tend to feel natural, like talking to a friend, but with the support and structure of a professional. I bring an open-minded, nonjudgmental presence to our work together and recognize that it’s a privilege to hold space for you
Fun facts about me:
I was a high school dance teacher and drill team director for a decade before transitioning into counseling. I am still involved in the dance world and enjoy providing mental wellness and leadership workshops to dancers. I’ve been incorporating mindfulness and therapeutic dance into my own wellness journey.
I have two sweet fur babies (dogs) with their own unique personalities. Jax is my squirrel hunter and loves to be outside, and Nala is my princess who hates getting wet and will steal your pillow with no remorse. I also like going to Dallas Stars games and hope to travel more in the future!
Sara is currently scheduling new clients for individual therapy sessions. She offers flexible options, accepting private pay, Aetna, and Cigna insurance, with rates of just $100/hour for private pay.
Additionally, Sara lovingly hosts donation-based Therapeutic Dance for the community on Saturday mornings. If you’re curious or interested in working with her, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
