Hello, so good to meet you! I'm Sarah. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed since 2015 based in California. I have worked with kids, adolescents, individual adults and families to overcome short term challenges and plan for long term solutions. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss how I can support you in your life's journey.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, discuss limits of confidentiality, and what you would like the goal of our time together to achieve. I will ask you quite a few questions to get to know you, your background, what your current challenges and coping strategies are, and what treatment may work best to achieve your goals.
I have worked across multiple settings (kids/families/foster youth/adoptive youth, crisis intervention, psychiatric hospital, etc.) and believe in starting with a strengths based foundation, let's start with what's working well or what has worked well in the past and build from it.
I enjoy working with all kinds of different people. I enjoy working with people who feel stuck in their current circumstances or that choices often lead them back to the same result. I enjoy working with people who have dreams and goals but need support to grow their coping skills to manage the challenges they may face.
