About Sara

You deserve wellness and are worth every bit of effort it takes to begin.

My name is Sara Zavala (she/her). I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate passionate about connecting with people around their personal goals. Together, we can develop your emotional toolkit to approach issues and promote change in your mental well-being.

Life will throw many things at you — and when we have not processed our past traumas or developed emotional regulation, we can become reactive to the people and things we deeply care about. Together, in the safety of therapeutic work, we can deconstruct old patterns and rebuild new ones.

Whether it is grief, depression, anxiety, or relationship issues, I am here for you and will help you uncover your strengths when they feel buried. I utilize Person Centered and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to guide your journey.
