More about Sarah

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

My name is Sarah and I have always loved meeting new people and hearing each person's unique stories. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my privilege to walk alongside someone through the ups and downs of life. I graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in Psychobiology and received a Master's degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, relational issues, abuse, and trauma.

My counseling style is supportive and practical. I ask questions to get a clearer picture of who my clients are, what they want to achieve and how I can help. I like to identify thinking and behavioral patterns and help resolve deeper issues to help break the cycle. It is important to me that clients become more aware of their strengths and past achievements as well as the progress that they make towards their goals. I value open and honest feedback and want to focus on what works for each person.

The first step in getting help is always the hardest to take and when you are ready I am available and looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
