Hello! My name is Sarah and I have been a licensed mental health counselor since 2003. I have also held many titles such as a certified thanatologist (grief and loss), clinical supervisor, and clinic director. I have worked in many settings besides private practice, including community mental health settings where I often worked with the chronically mentally ill, drug court where I worked together with substance use counselors to help people with addiction, and marital counseling centers where I taught communication skills to couples. I have treated clients who have struggled with depression, anxiety, relationship, and/or family issues, phase of life issues, grief and loss, and I have worked with many adult children of alcoholics and the challenge of low self esteem. Asking for help takes a lot of courage, and you should be proud of yourself getting to this point of choosing the right counselor for yourself. I strive to be a safe place for my clients, that they know that they are never judged, only given positive regard and encouragement. I am an interactive therapist, often looking for those "blind spots" my clients can't see are not in their best interest, and bringing them to light so my client can have those"light bulb" moments of new insight into themselves. I often remind my clients in the beginning that change in therapy is not a "drive through" fix, and it takes a commitment from both the client and the counselor to achieve the goals, outcomes, and change the client is wanting. My approach is very eclectic, learning with years of experience, that different clients learn in different ways. I tend towards the cognitive behavioral, Adlerian, (feelings create thoughts, thoughts create beliefs, and beliefs create belief systems) and psycho-dynamic approaches. I am flexible in my approaches knowing that some clients need a more coaching kind of approach with lots of cheer leading, while others need a more nurturing and gentle approach. I look forward to building a therapeutic alliance and relationship with you !

We live in a complex web of relationships, and having a better understanding of yourself in relation to others can be the key to living your most authentic life. Therapy is a tool to better understand the barriers that keep us from experiencing joy, finding peace, and building meaningful relationships. Issues at work, grief, relationship challenges, and feelings of sadness and despair can be overwhelming. Finding the hidden emotional truth is the first step to identifying and addressing the real reasons we struggle. A therapist is a supportive partner who helps you navigate and understand the turbulent waters of human existence. Depth-oriented therapy gives people the ability to identify and understand the problem at hand. There are often patterns that are repeated unconsciously, and my approach to therapy is to be honest about the misunderstood but authentic emotions and motivations that shape our behavior. A better understanding of your true self lays the foundation for a life with meaning. My clients often ask me "How did you know?". My education, post-graduate training, and experience (both personal and professional) have taught me how to recognize the patterns and hidden truths that are core to our personalities and emotional well-being. I am passionate about helping others learn how to grieve; our society doesn't allow us the space to grieve all the things we lose, whether it be loved ones, relationships, opportunities or dreams. The only way to move beyond loss and sadness is to truly and deeply grieve, find the meaning in our lives, and move forward with hope.

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a therapist who works at the intersection of trauma, the nervous system, and whole-person healing. Whether you're navigating the effects of past experiences, coping with chronic illness, or feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of being a highly sensitive person, you don’t have to do it alone. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and deeply attuned to your body’s wisdom and your life’s complexity. With a background in both traditional talk therapy and expressive modalities like art therapy and mindfulness, I offer a space where healing is both creative and somatic. I help clients gently reconnect with their nervous systems, process trauma in safe and supported ways, and build tools for emotional regulation, physical resilience, and self-trust. My work often resonates with people who: - Feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, freeze, or overwhelm - Live with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, or unexplained symptoms -Identify as highly sensitive, empathic, or emotionally intuitive -Are healing from developmental, relational, or complex trauma -Want a therapy experience that honors both science and soul -Desire to make healthy changes in life Together, we can explore how trauma lives in the body, how to soothe a hyperactive stress response, and how to reclaim joy, meaning, and connection in your daily life. I bring warmth, curiosity, and creativity to our work — and a belief in your capacity to heal at your own pace, in your own way. If this sounds like a path you’re ready to explore, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
