Clinical Focus and Client Support

Her clinical focus includes helping clients who struggle with concentration at school or work, are coping with life-altering medical conditions, or are healing from profound emotional experiences such as grief, widowhood, or divorce.

A Compassionate Path Toward Healing

Sarina believes that no one should have to carry the weight of trauma alone or rely on coping strategies that no longer serve them. Through a collaborative and compassionate process, she helps clients reconnect with their inner strengths, regain direction, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Couples Therapy and Relationship Support

In addition to individual therapy, Sarina provides couples therapy for partners seeking deeper emotional connection, healthier communication, and more effective ways to navigate conflict. With advanced training in the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2), she supports couples in rebuilding trust, strengthening intimacy, and creating a solid foundation for long-term relational well-being.

Holistic and Integrative Therapeutic Approach

Sarina's therapeutic style extends beyond traditional talk therapy. She offers an integrative, experiential, and holistic approach tailored to each individual's unique needs.
