Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a wife, mother to 3 daughters, dog mom, and a Disney kid at heart. My faith and hope in Jesus shapes the foundation of my life and my practice. When working with clients, it is my utmost priority to respect their beliefs while also displaying Christ’s love through our time together.
Since 2009, I have worked with individuals, parents and families struggling with conflict, attachment issues, impacts from childhood trauma, depression and anxiety. My passion is to help lead people out of hurt and toward healing as they build confidence within themselves and create safe trust bonds within their close relationships. Clients can address issues from their everyday struggles to complex trauma. Some helpful therapy models may include narrative, attachment-based and solution-oriented therapies. Clients should be prepared for engaging their body and mind throughout the session. A treatment plan will be created and practice work assigned after each session.
I offer in-office therapy as well as therapy in outdoors spaces. This can help clients who connect more with nature feel more comfortable and lighter while working in therapy. Whether at the beach or public park, your session can take place in various environments that bring you joy, if you choose. Each person I work with can expect a non-judgemental experience, no matter their story. Reach out today for a free phone consultation.
