Sarah’s Philosophy:
Over the years, I have come to learn the every person has “stuff” and with the help of others and support, we can travel through the storm. Asking for help is a huge step and with therapy, you can identify the issues that are going on and start tearing them down. You deserve the best life possible and through therapy you will be able to gain the knowledge and confidence to achieve your goals.
I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families from all backgrounds and ages, however I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are looking for guidance as they navigate through life. Areas that I focus on are depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, and adjusting to life events.
I have been trained in several evidence-based techniques and utilize those skills in an individualized treatment plan for each person. Therapy is for you and we will work at your pace and on your goals; although I do have one goal for everyone I work with, which is that you are empowered to continue to set in motion the ideal plan to achieve your best life. “It is your time to empower yourself.” -Joan Marie Whelan (2014)
