Message from Sarah
Feeling like your mind is holding you back from living your life? It does not have to be this way. You are taking the first step on regaining control in your life to live up to your incredible potential. I am a licensed therapist with experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their past experiences, build insight, and develop practical coping skills for managing emotional and psychological challenges as they arise. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness-based interventions. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, helping clients increase emotional self-regulation, and challenge negative thought patterns. I believe in collaborative care and empowering clients to take an active role in their healing process. Whether you are seeking support for symptom management, life transitions, or personal growth, my objective is to assist in reaching your goals on your time.

Get to Know Sarah
What led you to become a mental healthcare practitioner?
Every person has something going on in their lives. Whether big or small, I am proud to play a role in ending the mental health stigma. Each person deserves access to help when they need it.
How should I prepare for my first session with you?
Be ready to be yourself! Come with an open mind and willingness to share some of your current struggles. Think about the main thing you are wanting to achieve from attending therapy. From this, we can build a plan together to reach your goal.
Do you assign homework, activities, or readings for me to do between sessions? Why or why not?
Yes! I think active to continue outside of our sessions helps you take an active role in your healing. By doing this, it can help to identify areas still needing to be worked on and track your progress.
