Hi, I’m Sarah! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion to help people find self-understanding and build meaningful connections within their relationships. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults and most commonly treat adjustment issues, relational distress, anxiety, depression, and grief & loss. I value creativity, collaboration, and connection within the counseling relationship. I strive to help my clients value their own wants, needs, and feelings and communicate those needs openly.

In today’s society it is sometimes difficult to manage our mental health. We become anxious, depressed and sometimes our relationships suffer. It is important to find ways to cope with our anxiety, overcome our depression and learn to communicate in a positive manner in order to build healthy relationships.

Therapy can be such a transformative process when we are able to allow ourselves compassion and patience. As a therapist, I want to make sure that the space is allowed for each person or couple to truly maximize on the strengths that are already innately within. By working individually or through joint sessions, I believe that any perceived shortcomings or struggles can be reframed into strengths that are just not yet developed. If there is anxiety, depression, life transitions/adjustments, or trauma/crisis, I want to be able to be present for that journey with you and provide the utmost assistance in each challenge!

Relationships are challenging! Negative cycles can leave you feeling confused, overwhelmed, unfulfilled, and hopeless. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe we all have the resources to work through challenging life events. I work with couples on improving communication and connection as well infidelity and sexual issues. I also work with individuals looking to heal from traumatic events. I use collaborative, mindful, and holistic approaches to decrease distressing thoughts and assist individuals and couples in working through their obstructive patterns to feel more in tune with one another.

Do you struggle to feel enough and to know your own worth? Do you long for deeper connections with others, but don't know how? Do you avoid conflict but find you are often angry or disconnected from your emotions?

Over the years, it has been my privilege and honor to serve many different populations. Most recently, I have spent a lot of time working with marital and family issues as well as addictions of various kinds. I also enjoy assisting clients with stage of life challenges like remarriage, adjustments after the birth of your first child, teen years, empty nest, or dealing with chronic illness. Many of these issues are usually connected to stress and anxiety management; an area I have also worked with extensively. My experience and education are difficult to encapsulate into just a few areas.

I’d love to help you find a new and better place to live in and live from. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I work well with couples , families, and teens.

My systems training will help you make better sense of how to communicate to those you love and care for. With a couple’s relationship, I’m amazed at how rich Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment based approach, is in helping people open up to healing and trust inside their relationship.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck and don't know what to do? Just because no one can heal or do your inner work for you does not mean you can, should, or need to do it alone!
