Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois. I enjoy working with college age adults and working professionals. Many times, taking the first step to enter therapy can be a difficult decision. I want to support you through this transition and help you navigate career burnout, adjusting from college to a full time job, and work and family stress. Being able to acknowledge that life has become overwhelming and extra support is needed takes courage. Coming from the strengths-based perspective, I believe that everyone has the abilities and qualities to set and achieve goals to better their lives.
I utilize Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to identify your ultimate goals and motivation for personal growth. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and ways to improve upon coping skills and self-care.
When you are ready to take that next step, I can be reached in three convenient ways: my phone number and email address are linked in my profile. I can also be reached through my Headway website or my business website.
