More about Sarah
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I believe in the healing power of slowing down, staying curious, and staying related, and I bring these elements heartfully into my therapy practice. Clinically, I have experience working with children, families, adults, and couples in schools, community counseling centers, group practices, and addiction treatment facilities. I am passionate about working with adults of all ages grappling with life transitions, addiction, relationship and family challenges, and the impact of trauma across the lifespan. I operate from a Relational, Trauma-Informed approach and enjoy integrating wisdom from the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM) and Internal Family Systems Therapy. I gently aim to shift the focus of mental health care from the struggles and ‘problems’ we all face to the resiliency and wisdom inherent in seeking help. I have been told that my style is empathetic, intuitive, and insight-building. I consistently feel honored to be a part of my clients’ brave journeys back home to themselves. I come to BetterHelp with professional experience teaching, writing, and working in business. I welcome the opportunity to join you in your healing journey, and honor your bravery in seeking support.

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.
