I earned a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am a DBT Therapist with training in art and trauma therapies as well. I have worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient and residential treatment, probation, and family focus/supervised and therapeutic visitation.

Having worked with young professionals for the past 8 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I began my first field internship at just 16 years old.

First session

Our first session will be getting to know one another. we will review intake and assessment forms, go over informed consent, and limits of confidentiality. We will discuss scheduling and planning. Let it be known there is a $50 fee for no show appointments and 24 hour cancellations.

Sarah is unbelievably kind, intelligent and professional. She is a wealth of knowledge, and always has amazing ideas when I have been in some challenging moments. I would recommend her to anyone in search of a therapist. Her help has been deeply appreciated and needed!

The nicest therapist I have had. Understanding, always there for me whenever I need it. Even checking up on me in case of a drastic reschedule. Wouldn't trade her for the world!
