Basic Information

Services


Hello and Welcome. Our agency offers affordable, low-cost, telehealth/online therapy.

You have already begun a courageous step in your journey by seeking out counseling services. My name is Sarah and I am passionate to help individuals find their inner strengths as well as find ways to protect their inner peace. I have experience in working with a wide variety of ages ranging from eighteen to seventy-five. I have learned over the years as a training professional that mental health has no bias aganist: age, sex, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and religion. Therefore, I am devoted to helping individuals create a path of hope, success, love, and growth.

My speciality is marriage, couples, and family counseling. When asked by others why I specifically chose this direction, I simply stated 'because in one way or another we all yearn for a relationship.' We seek relationships with others whether it be through friendship, romance, co-workers, family, within ourselves, or just a smile from a stranger walking down the street. I have found that if I can help facilitate mending a broken relationship, ending one peacefully, or working on strengthening the relationship in oneself, that is the greatest reward of all. I also have experience working with clients with anxiety, trauma, depression, psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
