Hello! I'm a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing comprehensive care to patients with a range of health conditions. With years of experience in primary care, I've honed my skills in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing complex health issues, always with a focus on personalized treatment plans. My journey in healthcare has led me to embrace telemedicine, using platforms like Spruce to ensure continuous patient care, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe in leveraging technology for efficient communication and charting through systems like Elation, ensuring that your medical information is accurate and secure. As an Adjunct Faculty Site Supervisor at Grand Canyon University until January 2023, I've guided nursing students on their path to excellence, emphasizing the importance of a strong patient-provider relationship. My commitment to mental health is evident from my time at Cerebral, where I conducted Telehealth sessions and prescribed treatments for conditions such as ADHD and anxiety disorders. My experience extends from primary care to pain management, weight management, diabetes education, and to specialized care in transplant units at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where I collaborated with teams on post-surgical management for transplant recipients. I'm proud to have worked alongside Dr. Jeff Toll since August 2021 as a Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care/Family Medicine. Together, we strive for excellence in patient care coordination and communication. Your well-being is my top priority. Let's work together towards your health goals with care plans tailored just for you. *Specialties •Weight Loss •Pain Management •Diabetology •Internal Medicine •Nursing •Physical Medicine & •Rehabilitation •Urgent Care *Conditions treated •Weight loss •Chronic back pain •Neck pain •Joint pain •Nerve pain •Headaches •Post-surgical pain •Cancer pain •Arthritis pain •Fibromyalgia •Complex regional pain syndrome •High blood sugar •Unexplained weight loss •Slow wound healing •Fatigue •Tingling in hands/feet •Hypertension •Diabetes management •Diabetes •Medication administration •Injections •Health assessment •Postoperative care •Patient education •Muscle pain •Spinal cord injury •Chronic pain •Mobility issues •Sore throat •UTIs •Ear infections •Asthma •Allergies •Rashes •Life style change •Obesity •Overweight *Treatment philosophy I work with you to determine your goals and treatment comfortability.

"Although I prescribe psychiatric medications such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and ADHD medications, it does not mean that I believe medications will help everyone or solve all of your problems. After your initial evaluation, I will give you reliable information about whether a medication is likely to help, its potential risks, and the alternative treatments. I may strongly recommend a medication, suggest it as a possible option, or conclude that medication is not likely to help you at all. We will discuss your lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, alcohol/substance use, and stress-management strategies"

Are you carrying the weight of childhood trauma, addiction, LGBTQ+ struggles, or neurodivergence? Do these challenges make it hard to connect, thrive, or feel at home in yourself?

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. As someone who’s walked this path myself, I know how heavy it can feel to carry pain that was never yours to begin with. Healing is possible, even if it hasn’t worked before. 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.
