Introduction

Hello and welcome! I’m Sarah Mugford, and I’m truly glad you’re considering starting this journey with me. My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about human connections and the ways our relationships shape our lives. This passion led me to specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment theory, and person-centered therapy. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and interpersonal difficulties. My approach is rooted in authenticity and compassion, as I believe that a safe, non-judgmental environment is crucial for healing and growth. In our sessions, I’ll help you explore how your past relationships influence your present, guiding you toward healthier patterns that promote emotional regulation and resilience. My goal is to empower you to better understand yourself, foster meaningful connections, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence. I’m excited about the possibility of working together and helping you create a more fulfilling life. Let’s embark on this transformative journey!
