About Sarah
Her style is interactive and client-centered. She uses psychoeducation to prompt discussion and self-reflection. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on small, achievable goals. Listening carefully is central to how she works.
Sarah draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior principles to teach coping and emotion-regulation skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-based perspectives are woven in when they fit the client’s situation.
She has worked across several settings and with people facing a wide range of concerns including first responder issues, blended family strain, codependency, substance misuse, trauma and abandonment wounds. Her background includes practice in multiple states and many client situations over nearly two decades.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical tools. Clients can expect an empathetic listener who offers strategies, homework when helpful, and collaborative planning to meet everyday challenges. To begin, she asks clients to identify priorities and then chooses methods that fit those goals.
