Support for Intense Emotions, Anger & Grief — When Reactions Feel Bigger Than the Moment

Sometimes one hard moment can take over the rest of your day. A comment that turns into an argument, a wave of grief that catches you off guard, or anger that feels bigger than what set it off. Sarah Hawks is a Licensed Professional Clinical Associate who helps teens and adults work through intense emotional reactions, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss, especially during life transitions that can bring everything to the surface at once.

In her own words: My approach is structured and evidence-based. I help clients understand the patterns behind their reactions — why a moment escalates, why grief resurfaces, why anger shows up before anything else does — and build practical tools to respond differently. Progress here is measurable: fewer reactive moments, more capacity to sit with hard feelings without being overwhelmed by them.

Sarah's Approach:

Exposure-based work for anxiety, fear, and reactions that feel bigger than the moment
Grief support for loss that keeps resurfacing
Anger & emotional regulation — building more control over intense reactions, without judgment
Trauma-informed, client-centered care for a wide range of experiences, including more complex presentations
Depression & life-transition support for adults navigating major change
