Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Sarah and I am a licensed clinical Social Worker. I am dedicated to supporting individuals in healing and living a bountiful, meaningful life. I work from an integrated approach, drawing from Trauma-focused CBT, Prolonged Exposure, DBT, EFIT, and humanistic theory to tailor care to your individual situation. I am passionate about creating a safe, therapeutic space that honors all parts of the human experience so that you are able to challenge yourself in healthy ways and grow to live the life you desire.

My approach to therapy

Building a safe, therapeutic relationship is key! I focus on establishing safety within the relationship so that true growth and change can happen. I bring warmth, humor, and gentle challenging into therapy.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will establish clear expectations for the therapeutic process as well as be a time to gather as much information about you and your situation as I can to provide comprehensive and tailored support that is personalized to you.
