Welcome, I’m Sarah
I strive to meet each of my clients where they are and help them grow into where they want to be.
My Approach to Therapy
My background in both research and direct care informs a practice that’s collaborative, inclusive, and grounded in curiosity and care. I see therapy as a shared process that builds on your own insight and lived experience, helping you move toward greater awareness and growth.
Education and Training
My path began at The College of Wooster, where I earned my bachelor’s degree before completing a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at The George Washington University. During my graduate training, I worked in community mental health settings across Washington, DC—an experience that shaped my commitment to accessible, compassionate care.
Clinical Practice
After completing my master’s degree, I joined George Washington University’s Counseling and Psychological Services center as a staff clinician, where I supported college students through a range of mental health concerns. I later worked in an integrated behavioral health setting at Syracuse University's Barnes Center, collaborating with counseling, nutrition, and medical providers to offer coordinated, whole-person care.
Teaching and Research
Alongside my clinical practice, I'm a doctoral candidate at Syracuse University, where I remain committed to contributing to the field through teaching, research, and clinical supervision. In my work with counseling students and master's-level clinicians, I strive to foster curiosity, professional growth, and a commitment to ethical, reflective, and responsive practice. These experiences help me stay grounded and attuned to the evolving needs of both the counseling profession and the communities it serves.
