She has seven years of academic and clinical training in psychology, holding a Master's in Clinical Psychology from the Institute of Social Neuroscience and a Bachelor of Science Degree with Honours in Psychology from the University of Melbourne. Sara is a registered psychologist with the AHPRA Psychology Board of Australia and a member of both the Australian Psychological Society and the Australia Clinical Psychology Association.

Sara uses evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She is passionate about supporting her clients in exploring their emotions, building resilience, and finding personal meaning in their journeys.
