About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and have been providing therapy since 2012. I have had the pleasure of working with many populations, including inpatient, psychosocial rehabilitation, private practice, substance abuse treatment programs, and correctional facilities. I have a passion for working with people that have experienced trauma, and utilize EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy regularly, along with other various modalities of treatment, including CBT and DBT, to best assist patients in feeling safe, secure, and loved.

I am very down to earth. I understand how life can throw curve balls and appreciate the courage that my clients have in tackling these issues head on. I am humbled daily by the people that I work with in the best of ways. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one that is very individual to each person, and our treatment plans will be tailored to that individuality.

I look forward to working with you and assisting on your healing journey!

Sarah helped me deal with some very deep issues and cut ties with several toxic relationships and situations in my life. I couldn’t have come out the other side without her extremely raw, blunt, yet wise and loving guidance. She is very down to earth, accepting, and see things in a matter of fact way while understanding your emotions fully. She is a strong leader and has been a massive blessing in my life. I highly reccomend!

I've gone through a few therapist through this site and from the first message she sent, I felt a connection. Her presence is very warm and inviting and I feel like I'm finally getting the guidance I need to help assist me with some of the things I've been facing. I'm grateful for her expertise and her approach to getting to the root and finding solutions that will help me move forward. I highly recommend and am happy to have been connected to her.
