Services
Office Sessions
My office is a professional and comfortable environment conveniently located in the Lowertown neighborhood of Paducah, KY.
TELETHERAPY
Telehealth is an innovative way to pursue therapeutic care when barriers such as distance and location come into play. By engaging via secure video conferencing you can feel safe and secure in your own comfortable environment while working with me one on one with me to address your concerns and work towards your goals. At this time insurance won’t cover tele therapy so tele therapy services are only available to private pay clients. However, you can use flex or health savings accounts for these services. According to state licensing requirements, you must be in the state of Kentucky to receive these services.
WALK AND TALK THERAPY
When using spaces such as hiking trails and community parks we are combining a healthy lifestyle and connection to the community. Worried about confidentiality? We will discuss the parameters and options for full confidentiality in community spaces.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual therapy can be beneficial for a myriad of reasons – maybe you are experiencing increased anxiety, depression symptoms, issues related to a phase of life, relationship challenges, career concerns, trauma, grief issues or simply questioning issues of self-esteem, confidence, and direction for your future. Therapy is a powerful way to honor your emotional needs and provides a safe, confidential space to explore shifts and changes you want to make in your day to day relationships and experiences. Your relationship with your self is the most essential relationship you Sara currently works with individuals in adolescence through retirement.
COUPLE/PARTNER THERAPY
Couples therapy can be beneficial for any relationship, marriage, or partnership. You don’t have to be in crisis to sit down with a therapist to improve or fine tune your relationship. Relationships begin with a foundation of a friendship. Things may be going well but you recognize subtle signs that your relationship needs some time to focus on goals, improved communication, and conflict strategies. Life has a way of throwing challenges and road blocks our way that distract us from investing time and energy into one of the most important relationships in your life. Often, traumas (big “T” trauma or little “t” trauma) can challenge our connection because we manage these experiences in different ways. Couples therapy can help you identify these patterns or dances that you have with your partner and develop refined and healthier ways of engaging around these issues. Therapy can help you learn to turn toward one another rather than seeing your partner as your enemy. Sara engages techniques from The Gottman Method (John Gottman) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (Sue Johnson) to help couples navigate whatever challenges they are facing.
QNRT – Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy
What to Expect in a QNRT™Session
A trained and certified QNRT® practitioner will be able to identify specific adverse events or emotional traumas that have occurred in your life, including the age the negative life patterns were first established, the circumstance, the situation, and the emotional conflict surrounding that age and event. We will be able to tie in the core beliefs (Core Drivers) that were established to help you survive or protect yourself from perceived harm. You will currently understand how this pattern no longer serves you. You will clearly see, feel and hear how you use your coping mechanisms to drive self sabotaging behaviors. Your certified QNRT® practitioner will activate your nervous system and re- set the way your brain responds to emotional triggers. This is not invasive or painful in any way.
QNRT is not talk therapy. However, we will have a conversation to identify the trauma or adverse experience and the neurological program to be released. We end with reinforcing a congruent positive statement and perspective to reinforce your new neurological pattern.

“For all of us, the person we love most in the world, the one who can send us soaring joyfully into space, is also the person who can send us crashing back to earth. All it takes is a slight turning of the head or a flip, careless remark. There is no closeness without this sensitivity. If our connection with our mate is safe and strong, we can deal with these moments of sensitivity. Indeed, we can use them to bring our partner even closer. But when we don’t feel safe and connected, these moments are like a spark in a tinder forest. They set fire to the whole relationship.
— Dr. Sue Johnson, “Hold Me Tight”
