About Sarah

Sarah draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when someone needs support finding their own reasons for change. Her background includes many years working in addiction and trauma settings. That work ranged from residential centers to programs serving people in shelters and those involved with criminal justice systems.
This gives her a lot of experience with complex life situations and recovery-focused care. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Clients and Sarah set clear, manageable steps and track progress together.
She works to keep the process practical, with homework and real-world skills you can use between meetings. People often seek her help for relationship struggles, family-of-origin issues, parenting challenges, body image concerns, and symptoms linked to depression or bipolar disorder. She also supports those coping with abandonment, attachment wounds, and communication or control issues.
Her aim is to help clients feel more in control of their choices and responses.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sarah commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address symptoms and build skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify thought patterns that make anxiety and stress worse and then try practical behavior changes. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete tools for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing impulsive reactions.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel uncertain about change. That style focuses on drawing out personal motivations and building commitment to steps that feel right. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client talk through goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different schedules. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or flexible communication between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
