I work with clients dealing with trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, personal and workplace stress, grief and loss, parenting stress, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and health/medical stress.
I am trained in Trauma Resiliency Protocol and Emotions Management Process, techniques developed by veterans and first responders to heal traumatic stress and negative emotions of anxiety, grief, anger and guilt.

I have experience in trauma based interventions (Exposure therapy) and treating men's issues (men as survivors of abuse in relationships).
My style of therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral and Acceptance and Commitment therapy/mindfulness. My passion is for learning your story and working alongside you to find the solutions that work for you. I’m here to help you examine what you’ve already lived through and find the path forward. In my work with people with trauma I’ve learned that we often need the reminder – no matter what you have struggled with; you are a survivor and that needs to be brought to light. Keeping that in mind, I am guided by the client towards the goals that they feel are necessary for their treatment.

I address a wide range of issues including interpersonal violence, depression, anxiety, family/relationship dynamics, gender, sexuality, identity, grief/loss, and challenging life transitions.
In my individual, couples, and family work, values of collaboration, mutuality, and connection guide my practice. I partner with clients to identify their own unique strengths that can be used as resources to foster growth and change. I am attentive to the role of early family experiences, cultural values, oppression, and stigma in shaping client's experiences. Particularly when addressing painful or traumatic areas, I attend to clients' emotional safety using mindfulness and body awareness. I believe that healing happens in the context of honest relationships and invite my clients to engage in open dialog about our work together.

I work with all kinds of clients suffering from trauma-related symptoms & PTSD, such as victims of intimate partner violence, physical/emotional/sexual abuse, difficult losses, & more.
Hi there, I'm Sara! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in providing trauma-informed therapy to adults and teens who reside in Pennsylvania. Most of my clients come to me because they're feeling stuck in the past or feel like they can't "get over" something terrible that happened to them. It seems like no matter what they do, they can't move on. They can see how their trauma is affecting their mood, self-esteem, anxiety, and even their relationships, but feel helpless to change it. If this sounds familiar, I might be able to help!
