LMFT, 28 years of experience
Hello, I'm Sarah. I help adults with a variety of life problems, ranging from low self-esteem, anxiety disorders, stress, depression, codependency, childhood trauma, Imposter Syndrome, 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 relationship issues, 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.
Initially, we will get to know one another. I will ask questions and obtain some personal information, so that I can gain clarity about presenting problems and challenges.
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 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.
Young adults (18 years) and adults. I am comfortable working with a variety of personal issues. Some of these include anxiety disorders, relationship problems, poor self-esteem, childhood trauma, self-abandonment, codependency, and depression.
I use some CBT techniques that address low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. 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.
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.
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.
My graduate training was based on psychodynamic theory. I use this method in order to explore a relationship between the past and present, in terms of an individual's childhood experiences and its connection to current problematic behaviors.
