Sarah was inspired by a desire to offer the kind of support she once needed as a teen, and she finds fulfillment in helping families navigate difficult situations with resilience. With an academic background in the intersection of mental health, substance use, and the criminal justice system, Sarah brings valuable insight and empathy to her role. She hopes every family she works with understands that growth is possible, even if progress is not always linear. Outside of work, Sarah enjoys spending time with her son Dylan, getting coffee, reading nonfiction, and visiting the dog park.
