Sara Jacobsen

Sara’s mission as the Paralegal for the Vermont Network Legal Clinic is for survivors to experience trauma-informed legal services from their first interaction with the VT Network Legal Clinic.  Leaning on her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and experience as criminal court advocate, she builds rapport and trust with survivors in an effort to uplift their spirits while simultaneously informing their legal representation.  Sara is passionate about leading with curiosity and acceptance, and is thrilled to combine her clinical and legal experience to support the legal clinic in meeting the needs of survivors efficiently and effectively.  

When not serving survivors as a paralegal, Sara owns and operates a clinical mental health private practice.  Sara thrives by being active in the outdoors with her young son, partner, and dog- soaking up the sunshine and embracing the Vermont lifestyle.
