I am a licensed social worker from South Carolina and enjoy working with teens and adults through various challenges. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns to include but not limited to: depression, anxiety, addiction, severe persistent mental illness, antenatal/postpartum and parenting concerns, trauma, and relationship stress. My early training included working with school aged children to address conditions such as ADHD, ODD, and ASD. I have not found it easy to work with young children through online methods of therapy, but I am open to working with parents to help them navigate such concerns with their children.
My therapeutic style is one of warmth and positive regard. With a patient-centered approach, I see each client as the expert on his or her life and myself as a facilitator to help uncover skills and knowledge to solve life's concerns. I believe in the ability of everyone to grow and change.
I look forward to working with you!

Sarah was patient but practical in meeting my needs. She helped me develop a structure and routine for basic life needs, but also helped me understand and cope with my mental health needs. Sarah has been more than patient with helping me understand my relationship with alcohol. I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!

She remembers details and really seems to care. It's not just clinical. She seems to really invest in me as her client and I feel like I have the right counselor for my needs.
