Sarah is the first therapist I’ve felt truly confident is the right fit for me. She is professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and easy to talk to. She’s also a real person—relatable and warm—making our sessions feel comfortable and genuine rather than cold or clinical. Talking with her feels like speaking to someone who truly understands me, while also providing the expertise and experience to help me grow. She’s helping me develop healthier boundaries with family and friends, improve myself, and work on my emotional intelligence while unlearning old habits and behaviors. The practical tools she provides have already proven effective, and I’ve seen real results in just a few months. I have no doubt that my sessions with her are making a positive impact on my life.

As a licensed therapist in Indiana and Maine, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their unique challenges and strengths. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations, focusing on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and interpersonal dynamics.
My therapeutic practice is deeply rooted in understanding individual experiences, with particular expertise in women's issues, sexuality, chronic health challenges, and multicultural concerns. I'm committed to helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through feelings of isolation, guilt, and shame.
I believe in a holistic, person-centered approach that honors each individual's journey. My goal is to provide supportive, evidence-based guidance that empowers clients to cultivate resilience, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sarah has been amazing. I couldn't imagine a better person to work with through my mess of a life. She has been incredibly responsive and ensures I think and allow myself to feel as fully as possible. The support she has offered is unparalleled. Thank you so much for helping me!
Very responsive, caring, and a great support system
I’ve really enjoyed my meetings with Sarah.
Sarah is a great therapist, I’m lucky to have her helping me with my journey!
Sarah was my first therapist ever. I felt dumb on my first day, feeling impulsive for signing up the weekend before. I came into the session with a negative attitude, not even wanting to go through with it. By the end of the session, Sarah made me feel at ease. Within the next week, I was reassessing my thoughts about the situation and seeing things differently. I am grateful for my time with Sarah. She’s a wonderful therapist!
