First off, I’m glad you’re here! I know that it can be challenging to start therapy – sharing openly with someone you don’t know can feel scary and confusing. That’s why I believe therapy is a space where you should be able to show up as your full self—without needing to have things figured out first. I truly strive to create a comfortable, genuine, and collaborative environment where we can work on making sense of what you’re experiencing, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create changes that feel meaningful. I value getting to know each person as an individual and believe that therapy works best when it feels like a partnership.
I take a client-centered and individualized approach, tailoring our work to your needs, goals, and what feels most helpful to you. My therapeutic approach draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
I particularly value helping clients develop a more flexible relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, better understand their emotional experiences and relationships, reduce avoidance, and take meaningful steps toward a life that is more aligned with their values.I particularly enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, relationship and interpersonal concerns, identity exploration, and eating-related concerns. I strive to approach each client with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment, recognizing that meaningful change often involves both accepting where you are and taking intentional steps toward where you want to be.
Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy reading, spending time with my dog and cat, traveling, trying new foods, camping, and taking on home projects.
Sarah is seeing people in our Athens office and via telehealth through GA. She is able to take most Ambetter, Medicare, and Alliant plans as an in-network provider.
