Meet Sara Kite
You may be feeling stuck in painful patterns, wanting more closeness in your relationships, or longing for a stronger sense of self. My work centers on helping individuals and couples create healthier, more fulfilling ways of connecting—both with themselves and with the people who matter most.
You may be feeling stuck in painful patterns, wanting more closeness in your relationships, or longing for a stronger sense of self. My work centers on helping individuals and couples create healthier, more fulfilling ways of connecting—both with themselves and with the people who matter most.
I take a systemic approach to therapy, looking at how family dynamics, culture, and social expectations shape identity and relationships. With couples, I draw on the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, which emphasizes differentiation—the ability to stay emotionally connected while also honoring your individuality. This work can help you and your partner break free from reactive cycles, strengthen communication, nurture intimacy, and cultivate resilience. I also support couples in exploring and deepening sexual connection, recognizing it as a vital part of relational health.
In addition to relational work, I help clients build tools for emotional and nervous system regulation through mindfulness and self-compassion practices. Learning to tune into your body and calm reactivity can open the door to deeper connection, greater self-understanding, and more intentional choices in relationships.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate supervised by Dr. Nicole Van Ness, LMFT-S, and Bridget Jowid, LMFT-S, LPC. I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Southern Methodist University and a bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies from The Ohio State University. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over two decades in corporate and nonprofit leadership, experience that shapes my ability to connect with clients from many walks of life.
I am a certified Safe Conversations® Leader, a Registered Yoga Teacher, and have pursued training in Mindful Self-Compassion. I am currently completing Level 1 training in the Developmental Model. I am also an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (TAMFT), and Relational Therapists of Dallas.
My style is warm, inclusive, and trauma-informed. I pay attention to the ways identity, culture, and systemic inequities shape our experiences and relationships. Together, we’ll uncover limiting beliefs, explore new ways of relating, and co-create more authentic and life-giving connections.
If you’re ready to strengthen your relationships and create lasting change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
