If something has felt off for a while, you're not imagining it — and you don't have to keep pushing through alone.

Maybe it's work stress, a relationship that's wearing on you, or just the relentless pace of life in New York. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: what you're feeling makes sense, and things can genuinely get better.

I'm Sarah, a licensed psychologist with a Psy.D. from Spalding University. I specialize in anxiety and depression, and I've worked across hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice — experiences that gave me a deep respect for how differently people cope, survive, and heal. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I won't treat you like a checklist.

Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and identify small, doable steps toward relief. I work especially with adults and seniors facing depression, panic, trauma, chronic conditions, relationship stress, or end-of-life concerns, and I provide a calm, affirming space where all of your feelings are welcome.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and seen. I believe that mental health is often overlooked and a lower priority when it comes to health and I believe it is important to challenge that belief and bring attention to what is affecting us mentally and emotionally. Throughout my experience I have worked with a range of clients, from children to older adults, working with clients struggling with depression and anxiety to OCD and Bipolar Disorder. Everyone should have the opportunity to get the help they need and I hope that working together we will be able to identify and work towards building a life that is best for you!
