Hi there! Welcome to my page. I'll keep it short, because you probably have enough on your plate already.
I am here to help you in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental way using the skills I've picked up through school, work, and just trying to navigate life! It can be overwhelming, but you do not have to do it alone. Bring your worries to the table and we will come up with a plan that fits your goals, needs, and lifestyle. You've already taken a big step by coming this far.
I believe that we are complex beings and are not defined by a diagnosis, our past, or the challenges we face. I believe in building a foundation of trust and safety, and letting you set the pace while helping you get out of your own way. It is a delicate balance, and I understand how hard it can be. I would be happy to talk with you further to see if I may be a good fit for you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sarah has been a great therapist! From my first session I felt heard and I think that’s really important. I’m excited to continue my journey with Sarah!
She has been super attentive and has helped me immensely in my last few weeks. She is awesome.
she responds really fast and seems so down to earth and non judgmental
Sarah is everything you want in a therapist: she’s super easy to talk to, genuinely engaged throughout our sessions and helpful with providing both comfort and solutions with every interaction. She’s a gem and I’m so grateful we matched.
Sarah has influenced a massive amount of progress that I've made in my life. She is so loyal, empathetic, and real.
There are no gimmicks or quick fixes when it comes to Sarah, this is an individual who is as compassionate as she is realistic and down to earth. You feel as though the vulnerability and candor between her and yourself is comparable to being around a good friend, but she is entirely professional and has a very clear goal in helping you work through whatever it is you need to. It's a judgment free, safe, and practical environment that feels so much less daunting with Sarah guiding you through the trenches of healing. The thing I admire most about her is that she is a true champion for your well being, and truly validates every fear, concern, and anxiety you voice.
Sarah is a counselor who can provide unique insight and offer outside the box solutions, is empathetic, and has a good sense of humor when appropriate, all of which is refreshing. She’s a great person to talk to, and can quickly make anyone feel comfortable. If you’ve been in traditional therapy before, and haven’t felt able to open up in a more clinical environment—and you’re tired of the unmoving “therapist face” and incomplete feedback—Sarah is just as experienced, and twice as compassionate/engaged. She’s skilled at balancing the personal and professional, so that a connection and an appropriate therapist-client relationship can coexist. 10/10
