LMHC, 7 years of experience
I'm Sarah and I am a licensed mental health counselor who practices talk therapy. However, I'm also a human and I treat our interaction as so. We are equal. I am simply a catalyst to help you do the work and reach your potential. I am a listening ear, and a guiding hand. My approach to therapy is relaxed and open-minded. I utilize motivational interviewing, which helps to make the conversation more natural while still allowing us to get some real work done. I also utilize equine therapy as an in-person technique. Anything that will help my client discover new ways of looking at their life situations. I have helped clients build self-esteem, develop resiliency, and overcome life's obstacles through a personalized treatment plan tailored to each client. My favorite part of this work is watching someone tap into their own resources that they didn't even know they had. When I'm not talking with clients, I'm spending time with my horse, Hank. Or, you can find me at the gym. I hope that we can connect and begin your journey to your happiest self.
Our first session together, you can expect to feel supported, seen, and heard. The first session will be about an hour, and we'll get to know each others' stories and feel comfortable before diving into the specific challenges you're facing. Together, we will develop goals and outcomes you'd like to gain from therapy.
My experience with young clients has shown that I have patience and the ability to make talking about the uncomfortable more comfortable. My clients describe me as understanding, warm, supportive, and insightful.
My clients are often young adults >40, and teens. My clients are stuck in the comfort of complacency, struggling to reach their full potential. My clients learn to recognize their strengths and take control of their decisions, even when the world around them is unpredictable.I am passionate about individuals struggling with self-worth, self-acceptance, self-esteem, and body image.

CBT helps clients to look at their negative views about themselves or others, and how this leads to negative self-talk and other negative behaviors. CBT focuses on how thoughts and behaviors are intertwined and how we can use that to our advantage when we are "stuck."
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy focuses on cognitions, behaviors, and also being mindful. Mindfulness practices are great for clients struggling with anxiety, panic, and OCD/obsessive thoughts.
I believe in analyzing the childhood of each client to uncover where deeply engrained beliefs developed and why. I believe it is important to understand why certain beliefs and negative thoughts develop.
Motivational interviewing is a supportive conversation style where I help you explore your goals, understand what might be holding you back, and build motivation for the changes you want to make in your life.

Sarah’s absolutely wonderful, she is also adaptive for any needs you have (Short term, or long term therapy) and she will excel in. I saw her every two weeks for a while, and she helped me in ways i didn’t even know i needed helped. Sarah truly makes you feel like will never be alone or in need, she is genuinely 100000/10!! The kindest soul too. I cannot say enough great things about her. E.F

she's very empathetic but has a way of naturally allowing you to open up and really make others feel heard. she also has a way of making the conversation feel connected and really help in problem solving when needed.
