More about Sarah
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I graduated with a Bachelors in Counseling/Psychology at William Jessup University and a Masters in Marriage and Family therapy at Western Seminary. I am licensed in the state of California as a Marriage and Family therapist as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I enjoy working with an individual who wants help. However, perhaps they feel stuck and they want someone to help them process things so that they can accomplish their goals. I use a client-centered approach with a warm and compassionate style. I believe that often times people know what they need but sometimes they also want support along the way to achieve their full potential. My hope is for my clients to feel happy and successful. I am excited to help you on your journey to lasting change. I have experience working with client's who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, and as well as working with the whole family unit.
I am a busy mama of two. Therefore, I currently only have availability for sessions on nights and weekends. These sessions are approximately 30 minute in duration. I am licensed in California. Please note client's need to be in the state of CA during the session. Please know I value self care. I lead by example and take most holidays off to be with my family.

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.

It’s helpful
Sarah is a very considerate, caring individual that has helped me navigate through a very difficult chapter of my life. She is still my therapist at this time and I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help. Thank you Sarah.
Sarah seems to know what I’m feeling underneath the surface and somehow knows what questions to ask to pull out of me what I don’t know is there. She’s great and I really enjoy her as my therapist.
Sarah is kind, thoughtful, and genuine. I’ve really enjoyed our conversations. She’s providing such great insight, and I look forward to our future sessions.

Very kind and understanding, wonderful communicator, kind hearted and always lends an ear. Would work with her again.
Sarah has been absolutely wonderful to work with! She is kind and intelligent. She sees who you are as an individual through all of the mess life can be. We’ve worked through a variety of issues in various areas of life. She listens fully, with empathy, and then provides tools to help better navigate life. I am a stronger person now than I was before we worked together. If you want someone who truly hears you and supports you through your growth, this is your gal!
Sarah is the best therapist I have ever had. She genuinely cares for me and is attentive to my problems. She is gentle and patient and I always feel like I can rely on her for helping though my tough times.
