Introduction

Sarah offers nearly 25 years of clinical experience across a range of settings, including psychiatric care, residential treatment, family services, private practice, and healthcare. Her work has supported children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating mood and anxiety disorders, co-occurring substance use concerns, trauma histories, personality disorders, self-injury, self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, and complex relational and family dynamics. Sarah brings a steady, practical, and deeply seasoned approach to therapy. She believes meaningful change occurs through a combination of insight, education, skill-building, and practice over time. Her style is based on CBT, DBT, narrative, and solution-focused approaches, emphasizing collaboration and reality-based support. She partners with you to deepen self-understanding, strengthen coping strategies, and build emotional resilience that extends beyond the therapy space. She is known for being straightforward yet supportive, with a therapeutic presence that balances warmth, clarity, and well-timed humor when it helps make difficult work feel more approachable. Sarah views therapy as an active process - not only talking about change, but practicing it, refining it, and integrating it into daily life. Clients working with Sarah can expect an engaged and thoughtful clinician who brings over two decades of perspective, a broad clinical toolkit, and a steady belief that growth is always possible.
