More about Sara
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Pennsylvania with over 6 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, sexual health, parenting problems, career challenges, PTSD and ADHD. Since completing my masters I worked within a Rape Crisis and Victim services agency to help empower survivors to heal for over 6 years and recently began the process of joining a private group practice.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and that the best growth comes from meeting people in a very down to earth approach. I often refer to this as "Human to Human" as we are all only human.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person centered, humanistic theories as well as information learned through EMDR training.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual abuse and trauma or emotional abuse and domestic violence.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great!! Sara is awesome! Amazing therapist!
Absolutely the best! I'm so grateful for her help!!
Sara responds to all correspondense in a VERY timely matter and i hit "strongly disagree" by mistake. She gets top marks from me.
Sara is great! I’ve just started meeting with her and I feel like she gets it in a no judgement zone.
She’s been a great help and listens to everything I have to say
I think Sara is the absolute best, I have referred other friends to BetterHelp and can’t say enough great things about her
Sara is awesome, willing to listen and offer suggestions. She will challenge perspective, and provide a space for safe communication.
Sara is one of those therapists that puts you at ease immediately. Upon our first few conversations, it was like speaking to a trusted friend. I feel confident with her, she helps me address my needs and issues and gives me tools to better myself in areas I choose to work on with her; she is kind and open-minded, and overall a great person.
She does an amazing job of making me feel heard, offering a variety of ways to help me cope with anxiety and depression. I don't feel judged and she is very involved with each conversation
Amazing therapist! I’ve had a few different ones at different seasons in my life over the past 10 years, and she is the best I’ve had! I feel like I’m talking to a friend. She has given me a lot of insight on my emotions/adhd/anxiety.
