Hi there! My name is Sarah and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. My philosophy as a therapist is that every person is unique, and every therapy session will be focused on your unique needs. Nobody knows you like you do, and it's my job to honor that while supporting and guiding you towards your goals. Using humor and a down-to-earth attitude, I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. With the practice of mindfulness and a non-judgemental and supportive environment as a foundation, we will work together to identify areas along your journey you would like to address and/or improve.

Are you the kind of person who feels like they never have a peaceful moment? Your mind races from one anxious thought to the next. You’ve never quite understood this about yourself before, but you are now putting the pieces together. The experiences of your childhood (or your past) always left you wondering. What difficult thing would happen next? To cope, you tried to anticipate (the anxious thoughts!) what would happen next to keep yourself out of the “line of fire.” But you are an adult now, and you want to reclaim your peace. You know that you have more control over deciding how your life will go.
