Sometimes life just really sucks and we need someone to help support, empower, and encourage us through the hard times. I would love to be that person for you. I focus on coming from a trauma informed, strengths based lens that keeps you in control as we partner together to figure out what works best for you.

I only offer virtual appointments at this time. We are not meant to walk alone in our struggles. I’m here to help you while you work towards living a life with more self compassion and centered on your values.

From an early age, we are surrounded by systems that shape our lives. These systems include our upbringing, our culture, and even our everyday language. In therapy, we are asked how we navigate these systems to create meaning in our lives. Through engaging these meanings, and openly acknowledging the role that suffering plays in our lives, psychotherapy addresses one’s psychological symptoms as well as one’s innermost fears and desires. This occurs in a manner that does not stigmatize the different, sometimes contradictory, aspects of our lives, but sees them as meaningful and as a way forward.

New information, skills, and understandings will move you forward to goals you do not even know as possibilities. You have certain skills and understandings that have brought you to where you are now. A lot of folks believe that more willpower will make the difference and that is what is needed. But, if willpower hasn’t worked out for you up to this point, maybe new information, abilities, and insight are available. Learning new ways of coping is a short-term solution to “life is difficult". My experience, both personally and professionally, is that when we find new sources of strengths, we become empowered in significant ways.

Life can become so overwhelming at times.During these times sometimes we need assistance in navigating. I work with children, adolescents, families, individuals and couples. When we are facing life struggles I believe in having a safe environment for you to share your concerns. We can create a plan together to assist you with feeling more in control of your life. Using a person centered approach that is focused on your individual needs.

Hi, my name is Sarah. One of the hardest and most scariest things a person can do is reach out for support. Rest assured, I am here to listen and I am here to support you. You may have questions and you may have doubts; however, I am here to let you know that it is normal in the process of reaching out. I want you to know that if you make the decision to reach out to me, I will let you take the wheel and be the decision maker for what you want to discuss or cover in counseling. You can take all the time you need to process, no matter how fast or slow, and I will be on the journey right alongside with you.

My approach involves looking at the whole person: my aim is to help you reduce symptoms using evidence-based practices while also supporting you to develop insight into the cause of your distress.

Do you feel there are aspects of your sexuality or sexual self that have been unexplored, overlooked or neglected? Perhaps you're grappling with dissatisfaction and frustration in your current relationship? Maybe you're struggling to recover from infidelity or even contemplating divorce? Although we are inundated with cultural messaging about sex and relationships, most of us were not given the tools that allow us to connect to our partners or granted the space or permission to freely explore the depths of our sexual selves. Let's change that. You deserve fulfilling relationships and an authentic intimate life.
