More about Sarah

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

My name is Sarah and I have always loved meeting new people and hearing each person's unique stories. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my privilege to walk alongside someone through the ups and downs of life. I graduated from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in Psychobiology and received a Master's degree in Marriage and Family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, relational issues, abuse, and trauma.

My counseling style is supportive and practical. I ask questions to get a clearer picture of who my clients are, what they want to achieve and how I can help. I like to identify thinking and behavioral patterns and help resolve deeper issues to help break the cycle. It is important to me that clients become more aware of their strengths and past achievements as well as the progress that they make towards their goals. I value open and honest feedback and want to focus on what works for each person.

The first step in getting help is always the hardest to take and when you are ready I am available and looking forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
