Hi there and welcome. Congratulations on taking this step for you. My name is Sarah and I am a therapist. About me: I have a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and have extensive experience working with childhood trauma (sexual, physical, emotional abuse and neglect). I am also well versed in treating anxiety disorders (generalized, social, phobias, and OCD).

At Serenity Mind & Wellness Inc., the goal is to Restore, Align, and Thrive! I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel seen and understood. I have experience supporting individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My main focus is on helping you feel more grounded and empowered in your daily life. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in despair, or wondering how things got so heavy, you’re not alone. Reaching out for support can feel like one of the hardest steps—but it can also be the beginning of real change. I’m here to walk that path with you.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor serving clients across New York through telehealth. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, depression, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling hopeless or discouraged, unsure if things can truly get better. Together, we focus on rebuilding hope, strengthening resilience, and creating practical steps toward the life you want.

My approach is caring, direct, and encouraging. I believe in meeting you with compassion while also gently challenging you to grow. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment—and also be reminded of your strengths. Your challenges do not define you. They are part of your story, but they are not the whole story.

I entered the mental health field because I genuinely wanted to make a difference. I want people to know they are not alone and that mental health challenges don’t have to prevent them from succeeding, growing, or reaching their goals. Change is possible. Healing is possible. And you are capable of more than you may feel right now.

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with God, being with my family, and crafting—activities that keep me grounded and connected. I bring that same sense of presence and authenticity into the therapy space.

If you’re ready to regain your hope, strength, and resilience, I would be honored to support you. Let’s take the next step together
