About
My name is Sarah, and I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, MCAP). I specialize in supporting first responders, healthcare workers, and others in high-stress roles who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I provide a supportive, down-to-earth space to process challenges and build tools that work in daily life. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, blending practical strategies with evidence-based methods like CBT and ART. I understand the emotional weight carried by those who show up for others every day, often without space to process their own needs. Whether we’re working through a critical incident or everyday stress, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. I often work with clients experiencing racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from themselves and their values. Authenticity is central to my approach—I aim to show up as a real person so you can too. I offer virtual therapy throughout the week and in-person sessions on Fridays only in Tampa. Credentials & Experience: I have 8 years of experience helping teens and adults. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and a Master Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP).
"I use CBT, ART, and trauma-informed care to create a safe space for you to share and heal. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, so you feel supported while also finding new ways to cope and move forward at your own pace."
