Get to know Sarah

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?


I decided to become a therapist because when I was in the military, I frequently saw women soldiers experience many forms of emotional, verbal and sexual abuse and there was little or no help for them. Frequently, they provided support for each other and often they would come to me, to talk and/or for comfort, therefore I decided that I wanted to help others heal from emotional pain. Therefore, upon my discharge from the military, I used my GI Bill to begin my educational preparation to become a therapist.

I work best with women, men with depression or work related issues, African Americans, Italian and Irish Americans, working class persons of any ethnicity.

I am most excited to work with clients who are highly motivated to make positive changes in their lives and are willing to learn to necessary skills to do so.

What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?


The first session I would like to engage the client and establish trust in my abilities as a therapist.


What should clients know about you before scheduling a first session?


I want clients to know that I am a safe, compassionate and highly skilled therapist.


What do you do for fun/on your time off?


Travel, listen to music, socialize with friends & family, attend concerts and read.

Can you tell us about a success you had with a client?
