No matter what you do to stop the cycle of falling in love with the wrong people, having emotional or sexual affairs, or creating fantasy relationships in your head, you find yourself right back where you started. You feel like you've lost control and have a constant war going on in your head. You are living a double life and it's eating you alive.

People, age is not a factor, often experience anxiety and stress. These cause feelings of being overwhelmed and pessimism. Pessimistic thinking impacts self-concept and confidence in who we are. Developing and maintaining relationships can be affected, and work performance diminishes. Exploring the root of anxiety and stress helps in determining the behavior in the present and choosing to change the behavior in our best interest to have a better future.

I'm Sarah, an LCSW who has been practicing in the mental health field for over 6 years. Many of my clients find themselves struggling to balance all of life's responsibilities like work, kids, finances, relationships and school. This often creates anxiety, depression, and sense of overwhelm, and often feeling stuck, not knowing what next step to take. They want to organize their thoughts and sense of overwhelm, find ways to manage anxiety and depression, and learn new strategies to allow them to participate productively in all their roles.

Are you worried your problems are too big or too small? You have nothing to fear. Some of my clients have experienced the worst life has to offer, and need help to heal deep trauma wounds, others simply desire to rebuild relationships or reduce anxiety, depression, or substance use. My clients often come to therapy to address issues in their past that are impacting their relationships, self image, or have led to unhealthy habits. I enjoy helping people to better understand themselves, to set boundaries with others, to realize goals, and to improve their health and wellness through integrative approaches.

I believe in providing all of my clients with the best therapy possible by using an approach that fits who they are as a person. I want my clients to have a safe, open space to be themselves, ask for what they need, and feel comfortable every time they come in. Therapy is a place of vulnerability that only works if the client can fully engage in the process and feel confident in their therapist. I strive to help clients reach a space where real healing is achieved and to have them leave sessions feeling understood and closer to their goals.

During my 10 years in this field, I have learned that I love working with people to improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Life long worrier? Start here! I'm an anxiety specialist (worry, panic, OCD, phobias, social, health) and I'd love to help you. Are you feeling exhausted by your looping anxiety? Always tense, crabby or weepy? Avoiding people or resisting a change? Perhaps you're worried about how much you're worrying, feeling uncomfortably inflexible or intensely worried about your health. You're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, emotionally fried. You're here because anxiety has been a bully and it's time to push back. You're ready to connect to the joy and meaning in your life, instead of working so hard to escape the stress and anxiety.

Are you crispy from helping others, secretly wish someone would ask what you need but know you’d just say you’re fine? It can be hard to know what we need and find ways to feel supported. That’s where therapy can help. People often come into my office saying, “I hate accepting and asking for help.” I work with folks who support others, formally (counselor, first responder, nurse) or informally (family, friend, partner), and find they need tools to care for themselves, navigate past traumas, connect with their loved ones, or realign with their core values. You deserve a teammate on your adventure towards relief and joy.

Sexual health is often not talked about leaving us to feel like our attractions, interests, and behaviors are abnormal. Discussing sexual health may be embarrassing and bring up feelings of shame despite it being an important part of our health. When concerns are kept hidden, some men engage in behaviors leaving them ashamed, guilty or embarrassed about what they do and find themselves in an endless cycle of the behavior and feeling guilty or embarrassed. You want to live your best life and have the best relationships with those around you but cannot do so because aspects of your sexual health are holding you back.

Are you on a quest for healing? Perhaps you have overwhelmed, enraged, ashamed, or collapsed feelings that you don't fully comprehend. You might be attempting to avoid these feelings, making it difficult to fully experience life.
