I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania with 15+ years of experience in the mental health field. I have experience working in various clinical settings as a leader and educator.
You’ve done a lot to survive what you’ve been through, so it makes sense that some parts of life can feel heavy or overwhelming. I work with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress and identity shifts. Many of my clients are "high-functioning", but feel exhausted, disconnected, or “not good enough”. My therapy style is warm, direct and collaborative; I balance compassion with practical tools, so sessions feel supportive and productive. I help clients build emotional regulation skills, strengthen boundaries, reduce shame and improve communication in relationships.
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania who has been practicing in psychiatry & social work for over 15 years. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Scranton & my MSW from Temple University. I enjoy helping adults navigate life's transitions, anxiety, depression & addiction. As a therapist, I bring a wealth of experience in helping individuals identify their stressors & planning together. I've worked with diverse populations facing a range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and life transitions. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs and strengths. I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, empowering you to develop coping mechanisms, build resilience, and achieve your personal goals. I am passionate about fostering healing and growth, and I am dedicated to helping you live a more fulfilling life.
I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My work blends traditional counseling with mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and body-based practices, so clients don’t just talk about their challenges—they develop practical tools to handle them in real life.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and am also an experienced yoga and meditation teacher (ERYT-500). I’ve spent years integrating Eastern philosophy and modern psychology into a grounded, accessible approach that helps people feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and choices.
I specialize in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning but internally stressed, and are looking for more than coping—they want clarity, purpose, and a better way to move through life.
My approach is both practical and reflective. I focus on two key areas: helping you regulate your nervous system so you feel more steady day to day, and helping you shift your perspective so you can respond to life more intentionally instead of reacting on autopilot.
I’ve also developed and led a mindfulness-based program used in schools, healthcare systems, and organizations, with measurable outcomes in stress reduction, emotional regulation, and focus .
If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, we’ll likely be a good fit.
I was an educator for almost 14 years when I began my training in clinical mental health. I initially worked with teens and families in intensive in-home therapy. I transitioned to outpatient where I worked with women and men who had histories of abuse. My training and experience have been predominantly in trauma and grief. I have worked with individuals who suffer from mood disorders as well as personality disorders, particularly those with complex traumas and abuse in their histories.
I am a native of Chile, having lived in the USA for almost 30 years. I obtained my Masters in Counseling Psychology at Temple University in 2007 and I am bicultural and bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish. I have advanced training in Systemic Trauma Therapy at the IFIV institute in Spain, and I have completed Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) as well as having been a Program Assistant a few times in trainings by the IFS Institute. IFS is a non-pathologizing, evident based, effective, and the most respectful and compassionate approach I have come across in all these almost 20 years of clinical practice; "All parts are welcome", is IFS's motto. All of you is welcome.
I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
As a licensed therapist, I can provide clear guidance towards healing for women and children suffering the effects of traumatic wounds and other life challenges. I have combined years as an educator with rich training and experience in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Prolonged Exposure to gently and firmly help my clients regain their freedom, their voice and their joy. I can help you achieve your goals as you take steps towards your own healing. I have a bachelor's in teaching from Bloomsburg University, a master's in Reading from SUNY Cortland, and a master's in Mental Health Therapy from Messiah University.
Welcome to my practice. I’m a Master of Social Work clinician with a degree from Walla Walla University (2016), and I’ve been providing mental health counseling ever since. My work has primarily focused on supporting adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress related to major life changes. I entered this field to meet people where they are emotionally and to support them in reaching their personal goals.
Welcome to my profile. I'm a clinical social worker licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania. I also have a PhD in psychology, a clinical trauma certification, and am a 200-hr trained yoga instructor. My passion in life is to learn and understand things so that I can pass it on to others in a practical way to help improve lives and relationships.
My doctoral dissertation focused on mindfulness and adult romantic partner conflict. As a military spouse myself, I am uniquely positioned to support military partners and spouses through relationship challenges. Additionally, I particularly enjoy to support healing professionals including therapists, nurses, reiki teachers, and massage therapists.
My name is Sarah, and I'm a therapist, coach and activist. I practice healing through a trauma-informed, political lens. In my 12 year-long career, I've served many populations, but have found my home for the past 7 years serving adults in private practice.
