About Dr. Tapsak (she/her)
Hello, I’m Sara!
I am passionate about supporting youth and families in living the most fulfilling lives possible and I feel grateful to be able to do this through my work as a clinical psychologist.
I believe that every individual and family possesses unique strengths to navigate life’s challenges and I see my role as being a collaborator in your journey. I am committed to providing compassionate and culturally-responsive care that affirms individual and family identities.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons, going to see live music, and spending time with friends, especially outdoors.
