Sarah earned her Master of Arts degree in Counselor Education at UCF, as well as her Certificate in Marriage, Couples and Family Therapy. As part of her graduate work, Sarah completed a year-long internship at a local residential program for HIV+, homeless men with substance abuse issues, which is where she discovered her passion for working in HIV advocacy and education. She created an HIV education program for the facility that is still used to this day. 

Upon completing her graduate degree, Sarah continued working in an LGBTQIA+ non-profit healthcare clinic. As a queer woman herself, Sarah understands and identifies with many of the issues that those in the LGBTQIA+community face, and has helped countless couples, individuals and families navigate the unique and often more complex struggles the LGBTQIA+ population encounters, including transition, finding gender affirming care, employment issues, coming out, etc. Sarah was involved in the aftermath of the Pulse massacre as both a volunteer and a counselor to those affected by the mass shooting.

Sarah has completed Levels One, Two and Three of renowned couples’ therapist and researcher Dr. John Gottman’s Couples Therapy Training Program, where she learned how to help couples build stronger relationships through healthy communication, conflict management, and friendship. Sarah also has extensive experience working with polyamorous couples, couples with a BDSM/kink dynamic, same-sex couples, and couples where one member is in transition. The couples that Sarah works with appreciate her non-judgmental approach and open-mindedness, as well as her eagerness to learn about their specific relationship dynamic, as no two are exactly alike.

In 2020, Sarah moved her practice to fully virtual, and welcomed the birth of her son. Since becoming a mother herself, Sarah has developed an interest and speciality working with other moms, as she understands the unique challenges moms face, particularly when they are working and/or business owners, single moms, or if they have children with developmental delays or disabilities. 

Sarah is a National Board Certified Counselor in addition to being a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Pennsylvania and Georgia. She is also a Qualified Supervisor for Registered Mental Health Counseling Interns and Registered Marriage & Family Therapy Interns in the State of Florida.
