More about Sarah

My name is Sarah and I have always loved meeting new people and hearing each person's unique stories. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my privilege to walk alongside someone through the ups and downs of life. I graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in Psychobiology and received a Master's degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, relational issues, abuse, and trauma.
My counseling style is supportive and practical. I ask questions to get a clearer picture of who my clients are, what they want to achieve and how I can help. I like to identify thinking and behavioral patterns and help resolve deeper issues to help break the cycle. It is important to me that clients become more aware of their strengths and past achievements as well as the progress that they make towards their goals. I value open and honest feedback and want to focus on what works for each person.
The first step in getting help is always the hardest to take and when you are ready I am available and looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
