About Sarah
Sarah brings 14 years of counseling experience in clinics, therapeutic day treatment, residential programs, acute psychiatric hospital settings, and addiction services. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults across those settings. That variety informs how she adapts care to different needs and situations.
Her style centers on a client-centered approach. That means sessions start with what the person wants and build from there. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. Solution-focused methods are applied to set clear, achievable short-term goals.
Sarah also uses trauma-focused work and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, when trauma history is a key concern. Mindfulness strategies are offered to help with emotional regulation and stress management. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.
Sarah asks that people be physically located in Arkansas for any live sessions. She aims to make sessions a place where people feel heard and supported while they work toward practical changes. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Sarah uses a client-centered way of working that begins with listening to what matters most to each person and shaping sessions around their goals. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding and supporting the person rather than imposing a plan, and it can help with relationship strain, parenting concerns, and general life stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more workable alternatives. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns related to addiction. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method Sarah may use when past traumatic memories are central to a person's difficulties; it aims to reduce distress tied to those memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during breaks, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Many licensed professionals adapt CBT, client-centered work, and EMDR-related trauma work to remote settings, and Sarah will discuss what feels most helpful for each person.
