About me

I studied and received a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in behavioral sciences in 2009. I have been in private practice for 8 years and have work with a variety of presenting issues, such as depression, anxiety and behavior related problems. I primarily focus on cognitive behavioral therapy but am open to different approaches as the need arises. I grew up in a nontraditional household and learned very early on the benefits of a therapeutic relationship and have chosen to dedicate my life helping others.

She’s the best

Sarah is great at what she does, I came into this worried it would be one of those stereotypical, clinical, "how does that make you feel?", scenarios; but she immediately remedied that. Sarah is very laid back but still professional mix that makes you feel like your talking to an old friend but she latches on to the small details and makes you really think and open up. In my time with her, though short, she helped me rethink what my issues were and gave me multiple ways to help chip away at them to really find the actual problems through the noise. We're I able to continue to use the app I wouldn't change and hopefully I get to choose her when I come back.
