First of all, if no one has told you yet today, you’re here and you’re doing a great job. Hi, my name is Sarah and I get it - at any given moment life can be complicated, frustrating, hilarious, heartbreaking, chaotic, or beautiful. Maybe you’re feeling all of it at once. Through the beauty, chaos, joy, or pain, I think it’s important to remember that you don’t have to walk this ever changing road alone. As a licensed practical counselor (LPC) and nationally certified counselor (NCC) practicing in the state of Pennsylvania, I aim to help kids, teens, and young adults that are struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, school stressors, peer relationships, and grief and loss. I also utilize components of art, mindfulness, positive self- talk to help build and strengthen the relationship you have with yourself and others. At the end of the day, I believe that you at the expert in your story. With that, I’m happy to be there and help you navigate all of life’s ups and downs, peaks and valleys, setbacks and triumphs right along with you. Now take a breath, sit back, and let’s have chat!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, I would love to learn more about you and why therapy makes sense for you right now. Feel free to share your interests, your hobbies, things you love, things you don't love, and what you want to accomplish while we work together. I like first sessions to be relaxed and to make sure you're comfortable and have an opportunity to answer any questions you might have!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My background is in clinical mental health counseling which has allowed me to focus on supporting children, teens, and adults working through depression, anxiety, peer relationships, and self-esteem issues. I also have an expertise in working in the field of grief and loss, having worked at both hospice organizations and grief and loss centers. Grief is that thing that we all experience but we rarely are given a space to talk about it. Grief can impact every facet of our life, so I would be honored to learn about your love one and work to keep their memory and legacy alive.
