About
I offer a warm, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach that honors each client’s story while supporting healing, growth, and resilience.
I am a Master’s Level Counselor with 13 years of experience providing direct care and outpatient counseling. I work primarily with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress related to work, family, or identity. I also support individuals navigating complex medical or developmental concerns, helping them build emotional stability and stronger coping skills.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Merrimack College. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive, integrating evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based therapy to support emotional regulation and insight.
In our work together, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we move at a pace that feels safe and empowering. I am committed to meeting you with empathy and respect as we develop practical tools to help you heal, grow, and create a more balanced life.

As a queer clinician, my work centers authentic connection and safety while honoring how lived experience, identity, relationships and larger systems intersect in shaping each person’s story.
I'm Sarah, LCSW (she/her), with a background in anti-poverty, child welfare, and family systems work. Much of my professional experience includes supporting individuals and families navigating financial stress, caregiving roles, system involvement, and intergenerational challenges. I often work with young people and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected while seeking stability, advocacy, and more sustainable paths forward for themselves and their families.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and systems-aware. I draw from family systems and strengths-based frameworks, centering safety, collaboration, and self- and community-care. I help clients reflect on patterns, navigate complex systems, and build practical tools rooted in their values and lived experience.
So many people arrive in therapy carrying stress shaped by systems, relationships, and responsibility. I work to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and encouraged to take the next step at your own pace.

My go-to approach for helping people in family therapy is integrative and systemic. I prefer integrative family therapy because it allows me to address the complexities of familial dynamics by integrating various therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, narrative therapy, and structural family therapy. This comprehensive approach enables me to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each family member while also considering the interconnectedness of the family system as a whole. By incorporating multiple perspectives and techniques, I can foster deeper understanding, promote effective communication, and facilitate positive change within the family unit.
I teach:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when there is a noticeable shift in communication patterns and relational dynamics within the family. This can manifest as increased empathy and understanding between family members, more effective conflict resolution skills being utilized, and a greater sense of cohesion and support within the family unit. Additionally, I observe progress when family members demonstrate increased insight into their own roles and contributions to the family system, as well as a willingness to explore and address underlying issues collaboratively. Ultimately, meaningful progress is evidenced by positive changes in the family's interactions, emotional climate, and ability to adapt to challenges together.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy with regular family meetings or check-ins at home. These meetings provide an opportunity for family members to continue the therapeutic work outside of the therapy session by discussing ongoing issues, practicing communication skills learned in therapy, and setting goals together as a family. Additionally, engaging in activities that promote bonding and connection, such as shared hobbies, outings, or family rituals, can further strengthen relationships and reinforce the progress made in therapy. Clients may also benefit from reading relevant books or articles on family dynamics and communication, attending support groups or workshops, or practicing relaxation techniques and self-care strategies to manage stress and enhance overall well-being outside of therapy sessions.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can reflect on their own perceptions, feelings, and goals regarding family dynamics. This may involve taking some time to journal about their experiences, concerns, and hopes for therapy, as well as identifying specific areas of conflict or tension within the family. Additionally, individuals can consider what they hope to gain from therapy and what changes they would like to see in their family relationships. It can also be helpful to gather any relevant information or documents, such as a family genogram or a list of family members' schedules, to provide the therapist with a comprehensive understanding of the family system. Finally, individuals may want to discuss their decision to seek therapy with other family members and encourage them to participate actively in the process, fostering a collaborative and supportive approach to therapy from the outset.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Quincy, MA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Quincy, MA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
If you had a traumatic childhood or the current state of your relationships is less than great, a family therapist can help you address the challenges at hand and improve family dynamics. This will likely involve extensive conversations about each family member’s thoughts, feelings, opinion, even behaviors, related to the identified problem. In any case, a family therapist can be the mediator, the guide, and the support system you are looking for.
