I've worked with many clients struggling with substances and gambling, highly anxious folks, and depressed individuals, as well as conducted family sessions with those affected as well.
Hi! I’m Sarah. I approach my clients with warmth, empathy, and an understanding that sometimes the most difficult journey is just getting ourselves into therapy in the first place. I work with individuals dealing with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, processing trauma and life events, grief, feeling stuck, stress/burnout, addiction, relationship issues, identity issues/uncertainty, etc. I also see couples for relationship therapy, collaborating on building communication skills, navigating stressors and dynamics impacting the relationship, sex/sexuality, conflict resolution strategies, and more.

Therapy offers a space to discover where our inner observer may be hidden and how we can bring it forward through the unconscious layers. It allows us to identify the aspects of our self-dialogue that contribute to our dissatisfaction and to feel emotions aligned with our experiences. This is the path to change, where we, as a team, can help you embark on the life you've been waiting for. Whether you're dealing with addiction, family conflict, identity issues, lack of passion, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I provide a space where we can address these concerns together.

I can’t tell you what will happen in therapy. The best therapy will surprise us both. I consider therapy an adventure. It will be challenging at times, but also bring insights, wonder, and joy. Along the way, I encourage play, delight, and humor. If therapy doesn’t feel good, we won’t want to keep going. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction, particularly among highly creative individuals. I also see couples, often those exploring nonmonogamy, or repairing infidelity. I don't have a map, but we'll face the unknown together. And as we tap into spontaneity, creativity and our connection, you will find your way.

Just like standing at the edge of a high dive, it can feel scary and intimidating. But remember, you're not alone, and reaching out for support is a significant achievement in itself.

In addition to providing parenting support, I work with individuals encountering a variety of life challenges such as anxiety, relational issues, work stress, loneliness and depression.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma? Do you have a hard time communicating and setting boundaries with others? Life is full of obstacles and hardships that may be difficult to overcome without the right tools, resources, and, guidance leading to the manifestation of these symptoms. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adolescents using a Psychodynamic approach to explore unconscious thoughts and behaviors. In doing this, we are able to collaboratively recognize old ineffective patterns and process unresolved feelings and trauma.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. Trauma can also profoundly affect whether we feel this is a safe world and can contribute to depression, anxiety, and relational/familial issues. My practice is from a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective with a non-judgmental framework. I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

It's difficult to find the right therapist, with the many different treatment approaches, personalities, and even worldviews. As a Catholic-Christian therapist, I know it's especially challenging to find a therapist who is professional and yet competent to understand the unique experiences and challenges of people of faith. There are many reasons why people might seek services, from feeling stuck to deeply hurting, or simply to pursue a greater degree of flourishing in one's life. Whatever the reason, it is my goal to provide the environment and relationship where healing and growth can occur.

How do gambling rehabilitation programs work?
There are both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs. However, for some individuals, an outpatient facility may not offer enough hands-on care, and for other individuals, an inpatient facility may be too much. Both types of care have knowledgeable health professionals including physicians (in the case of residential programs), psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and recovered mentors.
How do gambling 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Abstinence and maintenance are key for 12-step gambling disorder programs. Individuals in a 12-step group rely on each other for support and accountability. In addition, there is often a spiritual element to these programs, whereby belief in a higher power can help the individual overcome their tendencies. If an individual genuinely wants to cease gambling, attending a 12-step program along with regular psychotherapy can be highly effective.
How long does therapy take for gambling disorder?
Recovering from gambling disorder takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but a person can see change if they stick with therapy and if they have the will and desire to stop. Treatment for gambling disorder requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers, as well as the development of coping skills. Making lifestyle changes is also important, such as staying away from lotteries, online gambling, and casinos.
Is relapse a problem for those with a gambling disorder?
Gambling disorder is often chronic and can be life-long; therefore relapse may present a problem for some individuals. But effective treatment can bring a person’s life under control. To remain healthy and on track, the individual may need to regularly check in with their support group or psychotherapist. Frequently refreshing their tools of recovery can be helpful.
