Sarah is so down to earth and so easy to talk to. I never wanted to try therapy because I felt like I would be judged until my anxiety got so bad that I was forced into it. I would never turn back now, Sarah is so friendly and really offers great advice and shes open to listen about anything. She makes me feel like im actually listened to for once and that I need to advocate for myself. I would be in a dark place without her and her guidance

More about Sarah

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, high conflict with others, and anger/aggression. I enjoy working with clients to help them find their voice and understand how to both identify AND effectively communicate their own emotions. In my work I focus on building healthy skills to be able to utilize and build self-esteem to assert your needs to others and build boundaries for unhealthy relationships. By joining me in therapy, we will work together to address the patterns that have you feeling stuck. I utilize CBT and DBT skills within sessions to help you become more self-aware and build emotional strength.

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.
