Hello and welcome. My name is Sabrina, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). While I work with individuals, couples, and families, my training is rooted in a relational approach to therapy. I believe our relationships—with partners, family members, friends, and even ourselves—play a powerful role in shaping our experiences, emotions, and patterns of behavior. Together, we can explore those patterns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation, and personal growth. I also have experience working with individuals navigating recovery, women facing major life changes, adolescents and young adults, and those struggling with the impact of difficult family dynamics.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in Emergency Medical Services, where I gained firsthand experience supporting people through crisis, trauma, loss, and some of life's most difficult moments. That background continues to inform my work today, allowing me to approach clients with both compassion and practical understanding. I have a particular appreciation for the unique challenges faced by first responders, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and others working in high-stress helping professions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches while recognizing that no two people are the same. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and understood while also being encouraged to challenge unhelpful patterns and move toward their goals.
Whether you are facing a specific challenge, feeling stuck in recurring patterns, experiencing difficulties in your relationships, or simply looking for support and personal growth, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of coping and connecting.
Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and stronger relationships.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
