More about Sarah
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCMHC
I am a licensed therapist in the state of North Carolina with 15 years of clinical experience. I specialize in working with individuals and couples facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and life transitions. I also have specific expertise in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression and anxiety.
I hold a certification from Perinatal Support International (PSI) to work with the perinatal population and am a Certified Clinical Military Counselor (CCMC), which enables me to effectively support military service members, veterans, and their families.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence-based. I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method for couples therapy. Treatment is individualized and collaborative, always tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each client.
I strive to provide a therapeutic environment grounded in respect, cultural sensitivity, and clinical competence. Beginning therapy is a courageous step toward healing and growth, and I am honored to support you on that journey.

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.
