There are seasons in life that unsettle us deeply—shaking our sense of safety, identity, and direction. Whether you’re grieving a loss, overwhelmed by emotional suffering, or facing a difficult diagnosis, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed.
At Ocean Mind Psychotherapy, you’ll find compassionate, nonjudgmental support as you begin to make sense of your experience and explore the path toward healing. My intention is to help you cultivate greater openness, self-compassion, and a deeper sense of freedom. In our work together, you can expect a warm, respectful space that honors your unique story.
I'm Sara, a licensed therapist based in Knoxville, Tennessee.
My approach is integrative and honors the body-mind connection—recognizing the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical challenges that often arise during times of change and transition. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in a deep trust in the innate wisdom of my clients.
I currently see clients via telehealth living in Illinois and Tennessee.
