Welcome! Your decision to seek support is a courageous step, and I would be honored to guide and support you on your journey.
I am Licensed Professional Counselor who has 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My background includes specialized training in EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which enables me to bring innovative approaches to our work together. I utilize a diverse array of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, strengths-based relational approaches, and person-centered therapy.
Because we are relational beings, I believe it’s important to express how we may align. As a human, I can relate to experiences of grief from losing a parent, the challenges of being a parent, navigating life in a blended family, and the impact of childhood trauma.
My therapeutic process focuses on the WHOLE person; body, mind and spirit. I have traiing in EMDR, DBT, SFBT, EFT , psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and somatic therapy.
If you’re here, you may be carrying a lot—burnout, compassion fatigue, or the weight of always being the strong one. I work with people who give a lot to others, including military members, veterans, first responders, hospital staff, and helpers who have seen too much. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’ve been through, and focus on practical steps that help you feel steadier, safer, more grounded, & more like yourself again over time. This is a space to breathe, regroup, and build skills that support healing, balance, and sustainable change
Congratulations on taking the first steps toward a happier and healthier life! It can be difficult to reach out and ask for support and I am here to help you see this as a sign of strength, not weakness. If you are feeling stuck in the past, overwhelmed with life, or working toward ridding yourself of an unhealthy habit I am here to help.
I seek to help clients feel confident in their ability to make choices, learn healthy communication skills, and strengthen their relationships with others.
I have 30 years experience working with adults (ages 20-90+), adolescents, families, and couples. I have my master's degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder and I obtained my license as a Professional Counselor in 1996.
Two personal virtues I value greatly are learning and curiosity. I will bring these two attitudes to the therapy room and with you to ensure that we develop concepts and theory that fits your experiences. I am currently completing my PhD in Counselor Education with my dissertation focusing on neuroscience-informed treatment. Our internal signals are as powerful as our external reactions. Together, we can use these techniques to quantify treatment!
Sarah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She earned her degree from the Graduate School of Social Work at DU with a clinical focus in family systems and a graduate certificate in interpersonal trauma studies.
Sarah is certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International and has completed a fellowship at the Irving Harris Program for Infant Mental Health and Early Childhood Development through University of Colorado's Department of Psychiatry. In addition to her specialty training, Sarah works with a diverse clientele experiencing a variety of issues, including mood disorders, life transitions, relationship concerns and grief/loss issues.
Sarah is trained in Brainspotting and has successfully integrated this modality into her practice for clients experiencing anxiety, bereavement, perinatal/reproductive trauma, OCD, and PTSD, including treatment for first responders and their families. As a spouse of a firefighter, Sarah has unique insight into the demands placed upon emergency responders and their loved ones.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered, solution-focused, and holistic. I believe that each client and family is unique, and I work collaboratively to determine which methods are most beneficial for their specific goals and circumstances. Together, we create a plan that promotes growth, healing, and meaningful change.
In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I often incorporate creative and mindful practices such as art therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, and music to deepen the healing process and engage clients in a more integrative way. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where individuals and families can find balance, resilience, and fulfillment.
What is your approach to therapy?I am a licensed therapist with a master’s degree in Social Work from St. Louis University, where I specialized in children and family counseling. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children and families across foster care, school settings, and private practice. My experience includes supporting children and youth facing challenges such as ADD/ADHD, mood disorders, behavioral outbursts, anxiety, depression, and academic difficulties.
In my work with individuals, I focus on fostering effective communication, nurturing positive interactions, and building stronger emotional connections. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and address the core sources of struggles such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and issues with self-worth.
What can clients expect from their first session with you?During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where they can begin to share their story at their own pace. I view this initial meeting as an opportunity for us to get to know one another and start building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. I’ll also ask some background questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we’ll begin to identify what approaches may be most helpful and create a plan that feels comfortable and tailored to your needs.
Clients often leave the first session with a sense of clarity, understanding, and direction. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and hopeful about the positive changes we can work toward together.
