Hello there!I come to the therapy field by way of the legal field. My time in the legal field cultivated a deep appreciation of peoples’ stories - including their conflicts, struggles, and desire for healing and connection. I have found that exploring our story in a safe and nurturing environment allows us to more deeply connect with ourselves and navigate the many difficulties of life. I hope our work together will help you better understand the many parts that make up your story so that you feel empowered as you journey through life. I am honored to have the opportunity to walk alongside people as they work toward contentment and wholeness.
I have availability for individual in-person and telehealth appointments on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I also hold a support group for moms on Saturday. Please see below for additional information! Sarah |

mom's support group
This group is designed to help moms process the challenges of raising children, relationships, and self-care. Motherhood can often be isolating as we navigate our hopes, other’s opinions, and our own story. Areas we will focus on:
- Building community
- Increasing self-compassion
- Identifying and creating space for your needs
- Identifying areas in your life that may benefit from change
scheduling
I do all of my own scheduling. I have a variety of times available throughout the week. The quickest and easiest way get an appointment with me is to schedule online. You'll be able to see my available slots and grab one for yourself, as well as leave me personal note if you wish. If the online scheduler is giving you trouble, or if you think there is something we need to discuss before you schedule, feel free to text, call or email. My office is located in the Southern Saddlery Building at 3069 Broad St.
payment
Sessions are $110 and last 50 minutes. I accept cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards and health savings account cards. I do not participate in any insurance networks and as a pre-licensed professional I am not yet able to offer diagnostic receipts for reimbursement.
Intake forms
Take a look at the 6 documents below. (#3 and #5 are long, complex documents required by the Federal Government. I'll put them into laymen's terms for you at the office. You've likely seen similar documents from other healthcare providers.)
- Fill out #1 and email to me - or complete at the office.
- Read #2, #3, and #4 ahead of time (sign electronically at the office - no need to print these out)
- If you need me to speak with a 3rd party - fill out and email #6 to me - or fill out at the office.
a little more about me...
My approach to therapy is collaborative, relational, and gently challenging. Together we will explore areas that are tender or painful in your life through curiosity and compassion. I’m interested in working with a diverse range of clients using modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Person-Centered Theory. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to navigate feelings of self-blame and self-doubt that lead to behavioral and relational difficulties. I hope that our work together will help build self-compassion and confidence. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, going on walks with our dogs, and reading.
