Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida, currently residing in beautiful upstate New York, and have been providing therapy since 2012. I have had the pleasure of working with many populations, including inpatient, psychosocial rehabilitation, private practice, substance abuse treatment programs, and correctional facilities. I have a passion for working with people that have experienced trauma, and utilize EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy regularly, along with other various modalities of treatment, including CBT and DBT, to best assist patients in feeling safe, secure, and loved.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can expect to get right into what they want their desired therapy outcome to be. This includes gathering information about what brought them to therapy, the symptoms they have been experiencing, and modalities of treatment that are of interest to them. We will also go over what hasn't worked for them, so we can start immediately building a treatment plan that works well. The initial session will also allot time for the client to ask me any questions or concerns they may have regarding therapy and what to anticipate in future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked primarily with trauma, which I believe can be a root cause of most mental health issues. I also have a strong desire to help blended families, as I have one myself, and it can be an incredibly enjoyable experience when put on track.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients that have recognized that they have triggers that are impacting their lives, and they want to change that. Whether they recognize specific traumatic events contributing to this, or they aren't quite sure when or how these issues began, I love to assist people in making that connection and healing.

Sarah has changed my life. I didn’t realize how much I needed therapy until I finally reached out and connected with her. She is honest, always looking for solutions, offers the best advice and has helped me see that some of the issues I have in my adult life are truly connected to my childhood. I can not say enough great things about her, she has honestly been a god send. I have even referred other people to her. She is an asset to the Mental Health world.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I use EMDR and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) regularly in my practice through a web based bilateral stimulation program. This includes both eye movements, and sound. I regularly utilize these modalities to process through traumas, and increase productivity in day to day life that may be hindered by symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and fight/flight/freeze response.
