About Sarah
Sarah focuses on common, painful problems like trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, depression, and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, sleep and eating struggles, and career stress. Midlife crisis and other life changes are part of her listed focus areas, and she helps people sort through the practical and emotional choices that follow.
In sessions she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and reactions. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Sarah adapts the work to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid script.
She aims to make the first steps simple: honest conversation, goal-setting, and building skills you can use between sessions. Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth, with attention to real-life problems like caregiving stress, chronic health issues, and relationship communication.
If you decide to reach out, expect a collaborative plan that focuses on practical steps. The emphasis is on small changes that add up over time.

How Sarah’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Sarah often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and structured, which can fit well into shorter check-ins and focused exercises during sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are taught step by step and practiced between meetings so people can apply them during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sarah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and homework between appointments.
