In her role as Director of Clinical Services, Sarah leads Windward’s team of aging services professionals, including RNs, LVNs, MSWs, and certified Aging Life Care Managers, providing clinical supervision and ensuring quality of care.
Sarah completed her undergraduate degree at UC Irvine, majoring in psychology and social behavior, and went on to obtain her master’s in social work from the University of Southern California. She is also a certified Aging Life Care Manager (CMC) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP). Since 2013, Sarah has worked as a clinician and manager in outpatient mental health settings, helping clients with severe mental illness and substance use disorders.

“Windward embraces the team approach which is a philosophy I have valued and embraced since my first day as a social worker. I have seen firsthand the positive outcomes that can occur in a person’s life when a multidisciplinary team comes together to support them in leading the best life they can. My goal is to instill hope and courage in the staff I collaborate with so they can do the critical work that truly improves the lives of the individuals and families we serve.”
