For more than 30 years, I have been helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and build stronger, healthier relationships. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma, significant life stressors, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and develop a greater sense of peace, resilience, and self-confidence.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Catawba College. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to meeting each client where they are and helping them create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a dedicated mental health professional with over 10 years of experience in the helping professions, driven by a deep passion for supporting people in creating meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in treating anxiety and related disorders through specialized modalities such as Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP) as well as grief and loss, depression, and relationship and attachment issues.
I also have extensive experience working in addiction and behavioral health, supporting individuals through recovery with compassion, structure, and practical tools for sustainable progress. I also work with anxiety disorders and phobias, helping clients better understand their patterns and gradually overcome avoidance so they can live more freely.
My name is Sarah, and I'm a therapist, coach and activist. I practice healing through a trauma-informed, political lens. In my 12 year-long career, I've served many populations, but have found my home for the past 7 years serving adults in private practice.
I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I incorporate mindfulness-based approaches and advocate for whole-person wellness.
I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lancaster
Searching for therapists in Lancaster starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Some Lancaster therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life changes. Others may specialize in specific approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. As you compare options for therapy in Lancaster, PA, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on.
In a smaller city like Lancaster, the number of nearby in-person appointments may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Lancaster can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to check coverage and see your estimated costs for therapists available in Lancaster.
