As a graduate of Colorado State University-Pueblo in May 2025, I received my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in August 2025. I am also a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and a Social Work Candidate (SWC). With over 7 years of experience in human services, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, supporting families involved with the Department of Human Services as a life skills worker. Additionally, I spent a year providing clinical services as a therapist during my final year of school. Working in this field has allowed me to truly appreciate the significance of mental health stability, particularly during difficult life transitions. I understand that life’s obstacles can feel overwhelming at times, making the path forward seem daunting. It’s completely normal to feel as though you’re carrying a heavy burden, and I want you to know that you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Healthy communication and exploring the next steps in your life can be empowering and essential for healing, whether you are dealing with depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms, stress, trauma, maladaptive behaviors, or concerns about self-esteem. My aim is to collaborate with you, providing support and understanding as we work together. I am dedicated to helping you raise awareness around your feelings and experiences, equipping you with therapeutic tools to foster growth in the areas that matter most to you. I am passionate about using evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and solution-focused brief therapy, to help you overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. I look forward to building a strong, trusting relationship with you. Together, we can embark on this journey toward healing and positive change, ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way.

You are the author of your own life. Sometimes, the story gets confusing. I'm here to partner with you in better understanding yourself, where you are, and where you want to be. For me, the therapeutic relationship is foundational for success, and ours will be built on safety, trust, and compassion. I take an integrative and client-centered approach to counseling, tailoring my methods to suit your unique needs and preferences. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions openly. While proficient in several modalities, I specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma. I help my clients build resilience through self-compassion, develop coping skills, and ultimately foster healthier relationships with themselves and those around them. I hold a Master's of Science in Education (MSEd) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and have worked with clients from all walks of life, ages, and diverse reasons for seeking counseling.

Sometimes talking isn’t enough, and it can feel frustrating when traditional therapy doesn’t seem to be helping. That’s why I use approaches to work with both the mind and body, allowing you to move forward when you’re feeling stuck. I have extensive experience helping people heal from difficult life experiences and trauma. Whether you’re dealing with childhood wounds, relationship trauma, or painful experiences, I provide a safe space to work through these challenges. I use several effective modalities including EMDR and Gottman method for couples. I use techniques that help you connect with your body’s innate wisdom and understand the different parts of yourself. I believe everyone has the capacity for joy and connection, even if they feel distant right now. Together we’ll help you rediscover these parts of yourself.

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.

With a deep commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and empowerment, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued, and supported on their path toward healing and self-discovery. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to accompany you on your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment. I am committed to creating a safe and validating space for my clients, empowering them to navigate and overcome. My passion for mental health advocacy and continuous professional development underscores my commitment to providing the highest quality care.
