As a person-centered therapist, I deeply believe in the innate capacity of each individual to grow, heal, and find their path to fulfillment. Every person has within them the strength and potential to overcome challenges, and my role is to support and guide you in uncovering that inner resilience. My approach is not to direct, advise, or fix you, but to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and understanding, honoring your unique journey. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace, while feeling truly heard and understood. Together, we will work toward fostering self-awareness, acceptance, and the clarity needed to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering for you.

Hi and welcome to your journey toward a better, more authentic you. I am a clinical mental health counselor who strives to support you in achieving your goals. I hope to walk this journey with you, providing a safe space for you to be vulnerable and discover your inner strength and beauty. I am passionate about helping adolescents with eating disorders. With my background working with this population and understanding the personal effects this illness can have, I aim to empower you on your road to recovery and instill the belief that recovery is not only possible but also worth it! I received my bachelor’s in Psychology and Biohealth Sciences from Oregon State University in 2017 and my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022 from Adams State University. I completed my practicum in crisis services and my internship in an intensive outpatient program for children and adolescents. I have experience in community mental health, including crisis services, addiction, school-based counseling, and outpatient behavioral health services, as well as in an intensive outpatient program for adolescents with eating disorders. In these various roles, I have worked with clients experiencing the effects of ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and behavioral disorders. The therapeutic approaches I use include Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also trained in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My hope is to provide my clients with skills, identify their strengths, and eliminate barriers to assist them in moving toward healing and gaining autonomy. I was born in Oregon and raised in Montana. I moved to Colorado with my husband in 2019, where we are now raising our children. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, watching professional sports, coaching soccer, reading, and playing with my children (both two-legged and four-legged).

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.

Have you been struggling with substance abuse, anxious thoughts, or low self-esteem? I help all ages of clients who are managing substance abuse, judicial entanglements, anxiety and life transitions; I collaborate with them in developing the tools they need to improve their lives. In terms of education, I have Master's degrees in psychology and social work from the University of Southern California, and current hold an SWC license through DORA. I have experience in CBT and DBT therapy, Functional Family Therapy, Peer Support, and substance abuse counseling and groups. One area of my practice that sets me apart from others, is that I came into this field having been challenged with the same mental health and substance abuse hurdles that my cllient's face. Having been through some of the same trials and tribulations makes for a much stronger understanding of their current state, and where their personal journey might go and how to help them get there.
