Sara\u2019s story is one of profound loss, transformation, passion, and purpose.  In 2018, Sara lost her mother to suicide - a devastating loss that changed the trajectory of her life. That pain became a catalyst for her creative and professional journey, pulling her deeper into writing, therapy, and helping others find light in the darkness. Today, Sara uses her gifts as both a writer and therapist to create spaces where others can explore grief, mental health, and healing without shame. Her writing is raw, tender, and deeply human - and through her words, she reminds us that even our most broken parts can become pathways to love, empathy, and understanding. Sara is the author of several deeply moving books, including Then Death Came, Find Me There, Loving the Gone, We Are Carried, and more \u2014 all circling around the themes of loss, love, and what it means to be carried through pain into purpose.
