Writer · Storyteller · Marketer | health & mental health
I tell stories that matter.
I lead content strategy for a digital mental health company and ghostwrite thought leadership for mission-driven brands.
I also write Steeped in Wellness, a newsletter navigating women’s health and mental health, motherhood, and the creative pursuit. In the margins, I’m working on a novel.

Strategy & storytelling
Well-told stories make an impact.
I lead brand and content for mission-driven mental health and healthcare organizations. I’ve built go-to-market content engines and editorial strategies from the ground up, along with the teams behind them, recruiting and mentoring freelancers across content, design, social, SEO, and PR.
I’ve forged partnerships with AFSP, The Jed Foundation, and The Steve Fund; led communications through product launches, a CEO transition, and a post-acquisition rebrand; and set the standards for how AI fits into content production without losing a brand’s voice.
I also ghostwrite thought leadership for founders and CEOs, with executive bylines in Fast Company, Modern Healthcare, and Forbes Business Council.

Kind words
“Working with Sarah over the years has really strengthened Yuvo Health’s content strategy. We’ve relied on her for thought leadership, case studies, and other storytelling-driven content that brings our mission and customer stories to life. Yuvo’s work in healthcare is complex and nuanced, but Sarah has a gift for digging into those details and making complex topics approachable. I’d recommend her to any team looking for a thoughtful content partner with a great eye for brand strategy.”
— Adrienne Smith, SVP of Growth and Marketing, Yuvo Health
