Hi, I’m Sarah
I earned my Master of Science Degree in Counseling from Villanova University. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor and completed my clinical internship at Amel Counseling. I have over 5 years of experience working with children and supporting families as a behavioral therapist.
I specialize in offering therapy for children and teens with neurodivergence. I have experience providing therapy to children and teens with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and developmental delays.
My clinical orientation is child-centered, I meet each child individually where they are. I create a safe place for children to explore, express themselves, and work towards building coping skills and healing. I use techniques from strengths-based, cognitive behavioral, and play therapy to enhance your child’s abilities and therapy process.
Children and teens I work with know I am NOT trying to change them. I offer support and education so clients and families understand their needs and find ways to change the environment and social expectations while building their individual skills.
As your child’s therapist, I am also their advocate and will work to make sure they are appropriately supported in other environments such as school.
I support children coping with divorce and separation. I understand the unique challenges and emotions that come with navigating family separation.
Through a compassionate and child-centered approach, I provide a safe space for children to express their feelings, fears, and concerns.
Together, we explore ways to build resilience, strengthen family bonds, and cultivate a positive outlook for the future.
I also provide services to parents of toddlers and young children. Is your child having intense tantrums, difficulties with transitions, and or issues regulating their emotions? I provide parent coaching to teach you how to respond and work through these difficulties and give you techniques to use with your child to improve your child’s emotional intelligence and emotional regulation skills.
If you are ready to explore what is getting in your child’s way and figure out what to do next, schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
