Find Your Counselor

We all need support—someone to listen to us with an open and nonjudgmental mind, someone to help us reorganize our thoughts when we are confused, undecided, or overwhelmed, and someone to cheer us on when we struggle without pushing us faster than we are ready to go. My goal is to provide you with the comfort necessary for introspection and healing and to search with you for any tools that may enrich your journey of self-discovery and fulfillment. As difficult as it is to take that first step into a counselor's office, I believe that seeking help when in need is the greatest act of love we can gift ourselves, as well as the clearest sign of strength and maturity. So, although the day we first meet will mark the beginning of our journey, it will not be the beginning of yours: you are already well on your way! I look forward to walking alongside you, wherever your path may lead.

Hello, I’m Sarah, and I am a Mental Health Therapist providing clinical counseling to individuals with various mental health-related concerns. I have worked in the mental health field since 2017 and primarily have experience with marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, crisis assessment and intervention, and school and community-based mental health services. I graduated with my Master’s in Counseling from Cairn University, and some of my clinical interests include grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and trauma. As a clinician, I aim to create a nurturing, supportive, and trauma-informed space for my clients to heal through an approach that best fits their needs, goals, and concerns. In my experience, therapy is a joint venture between client and therapist where our knowledge and skills are combined to find the best solutions built on the foundation of trust, compassion, and safety. Outside of the counseling office, I enjoy reading, trying new foods, watching movies, and going on walks with my husband.

The hardest part of the therapeutic process is reaching the door of the therapist. I believe that the work begins at that moment. The relationship you develop with your therapist is essential to feel and know you are "heard." Holding space for people and finding a way to the light of healing is crucial. Change occurs when a person is willing to bring the issue or issues into the light. As a therapist, my goal is to assist you in finding deeper meaning and healing. My position is to help you through the process. I look forward to helping you along the journey of healing.

Struggling with one’s own mental health or serving as a caregiver to someone else’s disorder often feels lonely, as if no one else could possibly understand. You will find an understanding audience with me and gain a sense of hope. As a husband, parent, grandparent, veteran, and 20-year professional secondary educator, my spirituality has provided the foundation, perspective, tools, truths, and wisdom to persevere through many of life's common hardships, giving me empathy for those overwhelmed by life. I am a Christian counselor who uses Biblical principles, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and attachment awareness to help individuals gain contentment and support heterosexual couples in building intimate marriages. I teach how to parent teens using Love and Logic. For parenting and family work, I draw on 20 years of experience in secondary public education, working holistically with whole family units to enrich relationships by reducing conflict, as many families have told me, "This has completely changed the climate in our home!" "And now abide faith, hope, and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

One of the strongest predictors of success in therapy is the connection you share with your therapist, so finding the best fit is an important first step! I believe in the "therapeutic relationship," developing a relationship of trust and respect. We will work together to find the approach that best fits you—your needs, goals, and unique situation. My focus is to provide a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. No matter where you are on your journey, I will meet you there, and together we will maximize your potential and develop a greater appreciation for yourself and your ability to reach your goals. Long-term change is a process; it won't happen overnight. I am committed to assisting you in creating that change for yourself. I believe you possess within you all the skills and tools necessary for change, and I will assist you in discovering and learning how to utilize those tools in the most effective ways. I look forward to helping you find answers, direction, healing, and wellness. In therapy, many issues are openly discussed, but sex and sexual issues can be uncomfortable topics for many clients. Yet, many people have sexual issues that need to be resolved for life to be as fulfilling as it can be. I am particularly passionate about working with women who are struggling with intimacy of any kind and are dedicated to improving this area of their lives. I also enjoy working with couples to help them identify the underlying issues causing strife in their relationships, rebuilding after infidelity, or increasing their ability to understand one another in order to help them design a marriage they can confidently pursue for a lifetime. I have been accepted into the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes’ Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology Program, and I am excited to use this knowledge in my work with you!
