Hello, I'm Sarah. I help young adults and adults with a variety of life problems, ranging from low self-esteem, anxiety disorders, stress, depression, perfectionism, procrastination, parenting issues, adjustment to college, and general life burnout. I have a collaborative and practical approach to therapy and use a variety of techniques. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or unable to give yourself a break I am here to provide a space where you can feel heard, validated, and accepted.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the intake and following initial sessions, we will get to know each other. We will also review provided assessments. I will be asking questions and obtaining some personal information so that I can gain clarity about presenting problems and challenges.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a good listener and provide insight. I also have a natural interest/curiosity about people, in terms of what motivates their actions. I would consider myself a "digger", as I am willing and able to peel away layers to get to the heart of the matter. I have found that there is always a great deal happening underneath the surface. Ultimately, I would hope that a prospective client gains new insight and a deeper understanding of themselves from our time together.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Young adults (18 years) and adults. I am comfortable working with individuals who have anxiety disorders, are experiencing stress related problems, adjustments to college or other life events. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with self-esteem, codependent behaviors, and relationship issues.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use some CBT techniques that specifically address low self-esteem, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Some techniques include identifying negative thinking and using different approaches to adjust these thoughts. These techniques include discussion/instructions in sessions, as well as handouts that I provide.
Humanistic
I use a humanistic approach by bringing an authentic and honest presence. I attempt to facilitate a greater depth of self-awareness, through actively listening and offering insight. Through this process, I encourage and assist with gaining deeper meaning and life purpose.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use some ACT techniques, including confronting avoidance and practicing detachment from thoughts. These techniques are discussed in sessions, and I provide handouts and resources that can be used outside of sessions.
