Hi, I’m Sarah! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping people find self-understanding, build meaningful relationships, and grow through life's big changes.

I most commonly treat anxiety, depression, relational distress, and difficulty adjusting to new life circumstances. I especially enjoy working with adults in their 20's and 30's.

Hey! My therapeutic focuses include working with adolescents and adults to address concerns like anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also have specialized training in body image concerns and eating disorders. I have sat with people from all walks of life and am here to offer you a space to "be".

I have 25 years of experience working in-patient and out-patient treatment. I have worked with individuals with general mood disorders and addiction. I also use group therapy to connect others with similar issues to enable connections that the clients may not otherwise have. I believe that my clients prefer the warm, comfortable style that I use.

My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Woman’s University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX, CO, and PA, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in ME, as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in OH.

If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a tough life transition or feeling disconnected in your relationships, you have landed in the right place. I specialize in working with children and adolescents experiencing behavioral challenges, individual adults, couples and families. I work from a collaborative and strength based approach. My goal is to help individuals reach their highest potential by nurturing their inner resilience.

I am a LCSW who is passionate about meeting the needs of individuals and helping others to understand the impact of mental health and trauma on individual behaviors and relationships with others. I am employed as a clinical and school social worker. I work with adults, children and adolescents as well as mentoring peers and providing training in the areas of mental health, trauma, suicide prevention and school safety. I received my MSW from the University of Pittsburgh.

I’m deeply committed to providing nonjudgmental, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care. I understand that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I take the time to listen, learn, and adapt to what works best for you.

I don’t expect perfection — I expect real people, with real experiences, showing up as they are. I bring not only clinical expertise but also lived understanding of how layered and complex healing can be. You’ll never have to shrink or code-switch in my care — your story, identity, and truth are all welcome here.

I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.
