Therapists serving clients in Cortez, CO

HI, I’M SARAH. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) supporting moms and moms-to-be through all stages of their parenthood journey. We know that motherhood is highly rewarding, but it’s also one of the most challenging things a person can do, and that’s when everything goes as you expected it would go! When it doesn’t, I am here to help. I am passionate about working with moms who have been met with the unexpected, including post-abortion support and pregnancy loss, hypermesis gravidarum, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders such as postpartum OCD or postpartum depression. I especially enjoy supporting parents who are parenting special needs or medically fragile children. As a mom who has experienced the unexpected myself, my focus is to provide therapy in a welcoming, calming environment that allows moms to feel safe and validated. Babies are always welcome, and I provide convenient online therapy so we can meet wherever you may find yourself. In addition to working with moms and moms-to-be, I also specialize in working with teens and young adults struggling with self-worth, self-harm, constant feelings of worry, depression, life transitions, or grief and loss. I work from a strengths-based perspective and incorporate a lot of mindfulness work and humor into therapy sessions. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be healing in itself and I strive to create a space in which you feel supported, heard, and empowered. When I am not working, you can find me spending time with my husband and two kids, enjoying all that Colorado has to offer!

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of frustration, with hope slipping away? I hear you. It can be incredibly disheartening to feel stuck in a cycle of frustrations and challenges, and it's completely normal to question whether things will ever get better. But please know that you don't have to face this journey alone. As a licensed professional counselor, I am here to provide you with the support and tools you need to break free from these patterns and discover a path toward healing and growth. From a young age, I have been deeply driven to make a difference in the lives of others. This calling has taken various forms throughout my journey over the past two decades, including teaching, serving as a school counselor, and coaching and developing individuals as a school principal. Through these diverse experiences, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that unsupported mental health challenges can have on overall well-being. My passion for helping others has led me to a realization: without a strong foundation of mental health and well-being, even if all the other aspects of life seem to align, individuals cannot fully engage in a fulfilling and peaceful journey. It is this realization that has fueled my commitment to becoming a licensed professional counselor. Throughout my education and professional journey, I have observed the transformative power of addressing and supporting mental health. I firmly believe that by tending to our mental well-being, we unlock the potential for true happiness and create the necessary conditions for a meaningful life. It is my mission to guide and empower individuals on this path of self-discovery and healing.

Reach out today to embark on this journey of growth and well-being. Ready to go beyond the professional facade? Want a counselor who's more than just a title? I believe that authenticity and connection are essential in the therapeutic journey. So, let's get real! In addition to being a dedicated counselor, I am a wife, mother, and friend. Life outside the therapy room is filled with various hobbies and interests that bring me joy. Traveling is one of my passions, as it allows me to explore new cultures and gain fresh perspectives. When I'm not on an adventure, I find solace in interior design, creating spaces that reflect warmth and comfort. You'll often find me immersed in a good book, taking in the wisdom and stories that unfold within its pages. Playing at the lake or hiking in nature rejuvenates my soul, reminding me of the beauty and tranquility that surrounds us. And yes, I confess, I have a terrible but enthusiastic love for cooking, always trying new recipes (with varying degrees of success). One of my quirks is creating my own idioms, often stumbling upon humorous combinations that deviate from the norm. Laughter is integral to my life, and I embrace my inner nerdiness, cracking jokes and inventing new words like "passionation" to describe my deep passion and fascination with understanding how people learn and develop into their authentic selves. Now, despite my laundry list of Pinterest-worthy hobbies, let me be honest with you – life is messy, challenging, and often far from perfect. As a mother, I've experienced the juggling act of raising children while pursuing a fulfilling career. Trust me, my kids were probably late to school more often than not (I can't blame the bus driver for that one!). Amidst my academic achievements, what I'm most proud of is embracing the multifaceted nature of life. Life is a wild adventure, a mix of stress and beauty, precious and fleeting. I've learned to sit with all its facets without judging myself too harshly. And that's the wisdom I bring to our counseling sessions – an understanding that we are all imperfectly human, navigating this journey together. Are you ready to rewrite your story, embrace your authentic self, and embark on a transformative journey of healing and personal growth? Let's walk this path together, forging a new narrative of empowerment, self-discovery, and lasting transformation. Take the first step towards a fulfilling and joyful life aligned with your truest self. Reach out today, and let's begin this transformative and authentic experience together.
