I believe that all individuals have indescribable dignity, worthiness, and value and as such I believe all people deserve compassion and respect. This is the foundation for all the work that I do with clients. Helping people has always been a passion for me, and counseling is a natural extension of that passion. I am warm and laid back, and approach therapy from a client-centered approach. I incorporate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness into practice with clients.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada and have been practicing for seven years. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in substance abuse counseling from The University of Nevada, Reno in 2014. In 2016, I graduated cuma sum laude from Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon with a master’s degree in counseling.

Sarah is a great therapist. I feel comfortable with her, and she gives me tools to help me during the week. I never thought I would look forward to therapy; therapy sessions with Sarah are now a part of my self-care.

Working with Sarah has been a transformative experience. Before starting therapy, I struggled to articulate what I needed from the people in my life. Sarah is helping me build a blueprint for my life by discovering my values and teaching me how to protect them through clear boundaries.
