Sara Spowart, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy, PhD

I’m a therapist specializing in emotional regulation and self-compassion, offering. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, struggling with self-doubt, or finding it hard to feel genuinely happy or at peace with yourself, you are not alone. I will work with you to understand not just what’s happening on the surface, but the deeper emotional patterns, past experiences, and internal narratives shaping your current struggles. Together, we create a space where you feel seen, grounded, and genuinely understood. We also build practical tools you can use in your everyday life. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy techniques, and mindfulness-based therapy with compassion-focused practices to help you regulate emotions, increase happiness, and develop a stronger sense of self-love. You learn how to shift negative self-talk, build emotional resilience, and cultivate daily habits that support a more positive, fulfilling life. I guide you in reconnecting with your strengths, practicing self-compassion, and creating meaningful change that feels sustainable, not overwhelming. You do not need to have it all figured out before starting. Bring a willingness to explore, and I will meet you there.
