About Sarah
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and mindfulness to strengthen moment-to-moment coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help clarify values and shape meaningful action.
Sarah draws on years in medical social work, hospice care, crisis assessment, and the emergency department. That background informs how she supports people facing loss, medical complexity, or intense life transitions. She has experience with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and work with first responders and veterans.
Her style is practical and warm. She helps people set small, doable steps and tracks progress together. Therapy sessions may include skill practice, problem-solving, and conversations about what matters most to the client.
Outside the clinical work she brings companionship to sessions with two therapy dogs who attend regularly. Sarah is based in Oregon and provides services in English.
