More about Sarah
- 21 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a proud graduate of The University of Tennessee College of Social Work!
As a therapist, I consider myself an everyday resource, accessible resource, offering a safe and supportive space for individuals to navigate and process life's various stressors.
I do not believe you have to have a formal diagnosis to receive the benefits of therapy, I recognize insurance requires as formal diagnosis. I dislike being label locked.
I am not EMDR trained, I work with many trauma therapists collaboratively in related cases and conducts preliminary work for trauma processing and EMDR processing.
I take an integrated approach from many modalities including Accepting, Solution Focused, CBT, Cognitive Restructuring among others.
I am down to earth, rarely speak in clinical "speak" unless trying to educate and I love to laugh and make therapy the best possible experience. The alliance between me and my client is the best indicator of success.
I have over 20 years of experience in multiple setting including schools and community mental health and private practice.
I love just providing a safe place for anyone to help sort out difficulties or process life in general.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sarah is great! I enjoy our talks. She helps me see things differently & gives me coping skills & techniques that I’ve used many times.
Sarah is a wonderful therapist, she has been so calming and helping me on my journey, it feels safe talking to her and that she does really understand and knows how to help. I feel luck to have been matched with her! I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Sarah is so good at finding worksheets that help me challenge my thoughts. When she comments on what I wrote, it gives me a different perspective on my experience. When we talk on the phone, we discover my triggers which helps her personalize the thereby.
Sarah is such an amazing therapist. She really listens and makes me feel heard. She is always reachable throughout the week/weekend and always makes the best effort to make sure to work with my busy schedule. I am so lucky to have found such a great match for a therapist.
