First and foremost, I am a firm believer in the power of change.

Before Talk Therapy with Sarah was a thing, before the schooling or the licensure, I was a person filled with despair. I felt stuck and unable to break free from the patterns that kept me anxious, depressed, and addicted. I carried the burden of the world on my shoulders and couldn’t see a way out. I could never have imagined my life being anything other than what it was.

I believe in the power of change because my life transformed in the most dramatic ways when I decided to take those initial, intimidating first steps towards getting help.

Every path is different and recovery certainly does not look the same for everyone, but the first step universally takes courage!

Though I have personal experience in these areas, I believe each individual’s path to healing is unique. In other words– only you are the expert on you.

Through a professional therapeutic relationship,  I will help you find the root cause of various behavior patterns and help you learn the tools to create change.

My overall approach helps clients develop confidence in sobriety, improve self-esteem, educate support systems, and foster assertive communication skills. I have worked in a variety of substance abuse and dual-diagnosis treatment settings, including detox, residential, and intensive outpatient. I am well versed on multiple paths to recovery, such as 12-step biopsychosocial, and SMART recovery models.

 I approach mental health holistically, utilizing multiple evidence-based interventions that encourage healing of the mind and body. My style is warm, empathetic, and direct.

If you’re not certain that I’m the right therapist for you, I offer a free phone consultation, as I believe trust and a “good fit” are foundational to the healing process.
