Practice Description
Sarah's approach to counseling is both compassionate and practical. Sarah believes that helping individuals, couples and families develop the real-life tools to create lasting change and improve relationships begins with collaboration between therapist and client. Sarah works closely with clients to create goals and concrete solutions that address the unique challenges of each client or family situation. Families make enduring change by being empowered to apply in their lives, what they have learned in therapy. Clients will be encouraged to do reading and homework in between sessions to further the learning.
