More about Sarah
- 24 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am licensed in Maine and Florida with 22 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, Depression, Trauma, family conflicts, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, ADHD and much more. I have a special passion for parenting challenges and children and adults with disabilities. I've worked with children, adolescents and teens as a specialty for more than 20 years. I encourage ways to explore creative processes, I strongly believe in creative therapy. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I can offer using art within the context of treatment, the creative process is both fun and engages a depth in treatment, however, it is very difficult to use creativity in a therapeutic context using the phone or chat options. I'm excited to work together with you to meet your goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sarah is great. She is an active listener and gives great advice to someone who may be going through family issues
She’s sincerely, the most compassionate understanding person. I’ve had the pleasure to work with. This is the first time I felt heard and understood which is making a big difference.
Comfortable to talk with.
Wonderful therapist. Thoroughly enjoy working with Sarah!
Sarah is a great listener, offers really useful reflections, and clear suggestions for moving forward. I really enjoy her style.
Sarah is amazing and I look forward to my sessions with her. She has truly helped me come out of a very difficult period and she continues to help me as I know it’s a long process. Thank you!
Sarah is wonderful and I'd 1000% recommend her. She listens to actually hear you and not just to respond. Sarah is very respectful and such a delight to speak with.
I wanted a therapist to hold me accountable and challenge my views rather than simply offer advice, and Sarah definitely does that. She's great!
