Mental Health Counseling Intern
Sarah is a flexible and genuine therapist that fosters collaboration with clients of all ages through unconditional empathy, validation, and curiosity. She provides integrative and trauma-informed care grounded in genuine compassion and person-centered principles. Her approach is holistic, founded on the conviction that a person’s lived experience is inseparable from their social, cultural, and systemic context. Her dedication to cultural humility ensures she welcomes and affirms clients from all experiences and identities, including those from diverse ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds, as well as the LGBTQ+ community. She prioritizes meeting clients exactly where they are to collaborate on an intentional treatment plan that is as unique as they are.
Sarah utilizes a range of evidence-based techniques, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems and Couples Therapy. She emphasizes the human, innate capacity for growth and works to empower clients with a practical tool kit—actionable knowledge and skills—to strengthen their emotional regulation, deepen their self-discovery, and move toward emotional autonomy and sustainable change.
In addition to her clinical work, Sarah’s academic research explores areas such as sexual coercion in interpersonal relationships, adolescent dating abuse, the role of multicultural competence in sex education within counseling, and the unique challenges faced by women with ADHD. She is currently completing her clinical internship at Northeast Psychological Wellness while pursuing her CACREP-accredited Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Pace University.
