Are you facing times of change and loss, searching for personal meaning? Our beliefs, values, and priorities change as we get older. Sometimes answers that used to fit don’t make sense anymore. I believe every experience is an opportunity for growth. I have worked with people with depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, relationship issues, and many other challenges. While I enjoy working with people of all ages, I am especially passionate about those in the second half of life. Let’s work together to find your path forward.

I am passionate about grief and trauma. Having lost both my parents at a young age, I understand how important it is to have a safe space to grieve and talk about your loved one who died. Additionally, during my almost 15 years at Allegheny County Jail, I worked closely with addicts, veterans, and first responders. I became an advocate for victims of violent crime and victims of domestic violence. I also became intimately familiar with all forms of trauma by seeing the horrors of violent crime and the immense impact it has on its victims, their families, and the community. You can tell your story to me without holding back.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

I believe how humans experience growth and how they change are the big themes of psychology. We grow and change through our relationships with others, but sometimes we can get stuck in certain relationship patterns that cause distress. Uncovering the dynamics of these patterns, how they affect our self-concept, our feelings, our understanding of others, and our nervous systems can be healing. Practicing new patterns of emotion, thought, and behavior, whether through talk- therapy, mindfulness practices, or a combination of both, can assist growth and change toward more compassion and connection in our lives.

Hi there, I'm Sara! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in providing trauma-informed therapy to adults and teens who reside in Pennsylvania. Most of my clients come to me because they're feeling stuck in the past or feel like they can't "get over" something terrible that happened to them. It seems like no matter what they do, they can't move on. They can see how their trauma is affecting their mood, self-esteem, anxiety, and even their relationships, but feel helpless to change it. If this sounds familiar, I might be able to help!

I've been through my own trauma and done my own therapy work (and continue to do so), so I know what it's like to take these big steps and make some difficult changes. I've reached a point at which I'm able to help others to grow and improve their lives by identifying core thoughts and beliefs that are holding them back, and specific skills they can work on to take more control over their lives.

That feeling when you cannot catch your breath and you are frozen … unable to move, to control the thoughts in your mind, or the tears streaming from your eyes. You have been hit with a gut punch, left wondering how to put the pieces back together and, for just one moment, not catch a break; rather, just catch your breath.
