Hi, I'm Sarah. Carrying anxiety, trauma, or relationship stress can feel incredibly lonely. Whether you face depression or daily burnout, your pain deserves a safe place to land. Together, we will gently unpack what weighs you down at a pace that feels secure. I offer a compassionate, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I provide in-person therapy in Columbia, SC, as well as telehealth services across SC, FL, AR, DE, LA, and VT. You don't have to navigate this wilderness by yourself. Please feel free to call or email whenever you feel ready to connect.
Our sessions will include collaborative therapy tailored to your unique goals. We will focus on root causes, practical coping strategies, and restoring a sense of balance to your life. My approach blends somatic awareness, cognitive tools, and trauma-informed care to help you heal deeply, improve your relationships, and reclaim your well-being.
If you have been stuck in survival mode, the ways you've coped kept you safe, but they don't have to be your only tools moving forward. Imagine waking up without that heavy layer of dread, or navigating conflicts with a calm confidence. Together, we will create space for new growth, deeper connection, and genuine ease in your daily life.

I believe quality care should be accessible, which is why my practice is in-network with a wide range of major commercial insurance plans. I can also provide a superbill for out-of-network clients to help with reimbursements. Please reach out with any questions.
