Sara Zrust, MSEd, Therapist

Hi, I’m Sara, a therapist who believes that healing begins with understanding ourselves and the emotions that shape how we connect with others. I work with individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges: from trauma and anxiety to disconnection and transitions. I believe clients are experts of themselves and possess an innate wisdom for healing. It’s my job to help clients navigate paths to rebuild trust, clarity, strength, and confidence in ways that are meaningful to you.

My approach draws from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and attachment theory, all grounded in trauma-informed, client-centered care. In our work together, we’ll slow things down, get curious about your inner world, and explore the stories, patterns, and emotions that have been quietly steering your life. My goal is to help you feel seen, safe, and empowered to create meaningful change. Not just coping but truly healing.

Whether you’re seeking to heal wounds old or new, open yourself up to connection or reconnection, or find your footing in a new chapter, I’ll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story.

Outside the therapy room, I’m happiest reading, writing, hiking, practicing yoga, or soaking up time with my family and our pets. The simple, grounding moments that remind me why emotional connection matters so much.
