Great to meet you!

Sarah believes everyone, especially children and adolescents, deserve a safe space to process and explore their feelings and life challenges that come their way. It is Sarah’s goal to provide a safe space for children and their families to explore and process whatever experiences or challenges they might be facing, as well as assist in their growth as they work to better understand themselves, explore their emotions, and build coping strategies.

My approach to therapy

Sarah specializes in working with children and youth experiencing symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, social emotional, and behavioral needs. Sarah utilizes a strengths based, person centered approach for each client and family, with a focus on play-based strategies.
