ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

Hi! I’m Sarah and I have been working with clients as a social worker for 10 years. I’m passionate about creating an open, honest and client centered environment to help my clients deal with any challenges or obstacles life is throwing at them. I’m fully licensed and enjoy creating a culturally competent approach for each client and their determined needs.

My social work experience has allowed me to do a lot of work with many people who seek support for caregiver burnout, end-of-life transitions, grief, adjustment to illness, chronic disease burnout, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, gender-affirming care, LGBT+, women’s health needs, body image, boundary creation and first responder issues. I’ve worked as a social worker and mental health provider for many clients experiencing complex medical concerns and place great value on understanding that mental health is a big part of physical health too.

My practice style is an eclectic mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Person-centered approach and Strengths Based techniques. I strongly believe in working with my clients to develop a style that is most helpful to them.

In my personal life, I love live music, concerts, travel and getting outside with my dog and family. I enjoy finding the humor in most things and like to laugh and joke with my loved ones. As a native Michigander, I’m continually looking for ways to be outside in all seasons.

I look forward to getting to know my clients and helping them move through their lives with support and an empathic ear.
