Hi! I’m Sarah.

Licensed Professional Counselor

I help adults and college students heal from trauma so they can feel more calm, connected, and confident in their everyday lives.

Therapy with me is holistic, brain-based, and deeply respectful of your story.  Whether you’re navigating the effects of something recent or something from long ago, we’ll move at your pace, one step at a time.

I use evidence-based and mind-body approaches, like EMDR, IFS (“parts” work), mindfulness, and nervous system-based support, to retrain the brain, relieve unwanted symptoms, and build resiliency.  In other words, I use science to help my clients get unstuck and feel better.

How It Works

  • We Connect

    First, schedule a free consultation by clicking “Book Now” to see if it feels like a good fit. In our early sessions, I’ll get to know you as a person: your story, strengths, struggles, and what truly matters to you.

  • We Develop a Plan

    We’ll talk about what you want from therapy and come up with a clear plan for how to get there, together.

  • We Work Together

    We’ll check in regularly to see what’s helping and adjust along the way to keep you moving toward the life you want.

FAQ’s

  • I’m currently in-network with Aetna for Pennsylvania residents only. If you’re in PA and have Aetna coverage, your sessions may be partially or fully covered depending on your specific plan.

    For all other insurance plans, I’m considered an out-of-network provider. This means I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide a monthly superbill for you to submit for possible reimbursement. Please note that insurance companies typically require a diagnosis, and reimbursement depends on your out-of-network benefits.

    My fee is $200 per 50-minute session, and I’m happy to guide you through verifying your benefits or exploring potential reimbursement options.

    Good Faith Estimate

    In compliance with the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate that outlines the expected costs of your care. This applies to anyone who is uninsured or not using insurance. If your bill is at least $400 more than your estimate, you have the right to dispute it. For more information, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

  • Yes, it does. For many people, virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. Research supports its benefits, and I’ve seen how healing can happen when people feel safe and comfortable in their own space.

    I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform to protect your privacy. One of the biggest advantages of virtual therapy is that you can create your own cozy environment. Whether it's your favorite chair, a calming view, a soft blanket, or your pet nearby, those familiar comforts can add an extra layer of ease and security. (And yes, pets are always welcome.)

    There’s no commute, no waiting room, and no rushing. Just a space that’s yours, where you can show up as you are.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The length of therapy depends on why you’re seeking support and what you’d like to work through.

    Some people come in with a specific concern and start noticing changes within a few sessions. Others are navigating deeper trauma or long-standing patterns, which can take more time. Early on, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what you hope life can feel like instead. We’ll also check in regularly to make sure our work together continues to feel useful.

    Coming to sessions consistently and using the tools we talk about between sessions can help you start noticing shifts sooner.

    You’re never locked into a set number of sessions. This is your space and there’s no set timeline or pressure to rush.

  • I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Your session time is set aside just for you, and without that notice, the full session fee will be charged.

    If something unexpected comes up, just let me know. Life happens, and we’ll do our best to be flexible when we can.

  • Talking to someone in your inner circle can be incredibly helpful, and sometimes it’s all we need in the moment. The people closest to us usually mean well. But even with the best intentions, friends and family can be biased. They might offer advice based on their own experiences, not yours. And sometimes that well-meaning advice can actually make things feel worse.

    They may also struggle to fully hear you because what you’re sharing stirs up something for them too. Or maybe talking to them about your trauma feels like walking on eggshells, especially if they’re part of the story.

    Therapy is a different kind of space. Working through trauma is complex. Many people find it freeing to have someone objective in their corner. Someone who won’t jump in with opinions, take sides, or repeat what you’ve said. In therapy, you don’t have to manage anyone else’s emotions. You get to focus fully on yours.

  • For some people, medication can be a helpful tool, especially when symptoms feel intense or are interfering with daily life.  But medication alone doesn’t get to the root of the pain.

    Trauma lives in the body.  It also shapes how we think, feel, connect with others, and perceive the world.  These are things medication can’t touch on its own.

    Therapy helps you work through the deeper layers of what happened and how it’s still showing up.  We’ll focus on calming the nervous system, processing stuck experiences, and building tools that support long-term healing.

    If you’re already on medication or considering it, that’s completely okay!  We can talk about how it fits into your overall healing process.
