About me

I have been in the business of the healing arts for over 15 years - providing services from case management to individual counseling. I obtained my Bachelors in Psychology from Texas Tech University in 2000 and Masters in Community Counseling from Webster University in 2010. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and in good standings with the State of Texas. Helping teens, by leading them to a place of healing and growth has fulfilled my purpose and life’s calling. I have specialized in trauma and sexual abuse in both genders including issues of bullying. Depression and anxiety can be debilitating to a teen and by offering specialized treatment modalities one can conquer and move towards a healthy future. I am flexible in my approaches to individuals and offer simple solution focused approaches, to the complex psychodynamic approaches focusing on deeper rooted personal issues. Having many life’s experiences as the mother of two grown children, I can relate to the issues teens face as well as the parental issues associated with growing pains. The last few years of my career has focused on the growth and development of children and adolescents with behavioral and mental health issues.

Written on Jan 21, 2023 after therapy with Sarah for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger management, and coping with life changes

It had been over ten years since I had last been in therapy. When I met with Sarah she made it so easy to transition back into it. A truly wonderful listener, very gentle, but unafraid to offer hard truths. I felt immediately at ease when speaking with her, making it super easy to open up a quickly to get to the root of my problems. I cannot recommend Sarah enough.

My experience has been great!

Written on Dec 08, 2022 after therapy with Sarah for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem

I have been working with Sarah for several months now. While I am very much so a creature of habit, she has given me worksheets to better understand my behavior. I've learned to be more mindful of my destructive behavior and I am slowly taking little steps to take care of myself. She is very understanding and kind. She genuinely cares about her clients well being and not just about a timer. I like that she checks in when she knows you are going through a tough time. She has made going to therapy a positive experience for me (finally).

Amazing

Written on Jun 01, 2022 after therapy with Sarah for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, and coping with life changes

I have been so blessed to be matched with a therapist who I connect with and also trust. I was told it might take a few attempts to find the right match from others who have gone to therapy and I was honestly very nervous before our first meeting. Luckily it was an instant connection for me and she put me right at ease.
Sarah listens, assess and gives applicable solutions when needed. She holds me accountable and checks in regularly to see how I’m doing or just give me some encouragement.
Thank you Sarah for all of your time and help!
