As a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience, my passion lies in helping you achieve your best health. I've worked extensively in cardiology and observed that true health improvements come from lifestyle changes rather than just medical treatments.

I firmly believe that health is not just about the body—it's about nurturing your mental and emotional well-being too. That's why I embrace the six pillars of a healthy lifestyle: eating plant-based foods, staying active, getting good sleep, building strong relationships, avoiding harmful substances, and managing stress.

As a busy professional, wife, and mother, I know how easy it is to put yourself last—juggling endless responsibilities while stress and unhealthy habits quietly take their toll. I’ve felt the weight of exhaustion and the frustration of being stuck in a cycle that seemed impossible to break. But here’s what I learned: true health isn’t just about diet or exercise. It’s about peeling back the layers—addressing mindset, nutrition, mental well-being, and balance. With over 20 years of nursing experience and advanced credentials, including a Doctorate in Nursing Practice focused on Lifestyle Medicine, I’ve helped countless individuals transform their health. At Unlayered, my mission is to empower you with the tools and guidance to build sustainable habits, nurture your mental wellness, so you can grow into the best version of yourself.

Hi, I'm Margaret, I am a nurse practitioner. I have been managing depression and anxiety symptoms for several years with good outcomes, improving client outcomes and impacting lives. I have been managing ADHD symptoms for several months and have observed excellent outcomes in client focus, concentration, and work performance, also impacting personal and professional lives.

I specialize in trauma, including childhood abuse, complex and traumatic relationships, and the ways our minds and bodies sometimes disconnect to help us survive. If you’ve felt numb, isolated, or like you're just going through the motions, you’re not alone—and I promise there’s nothing wrong with you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both neuroscience and deep compassion. I offer a space where you don’t have to explain everything in perfect words—where your emotions, your body, and your survival strategies are all welcome.

We’ll work gently and intentionally to untangle what’s been holding you back, so you can start to feel safe, connected, and fully yourself. You will never be judged for your choices or your experiences, but rather valued for every aspect of your individual journey. You just need to show up—I’ll meet you there, and we’ll move forward together. You can learn more about me on my website at www.SaraSanfordTherapy.com or call/text 415-870-6494.
