About Sarah - I have always been passionate about understanding people and building meaningful connections. From a young age, I found myself drawn to helping others and listening to their stories. That passion deepened when I took my first psychology course as a high school senior and became fascinated by the complexity of human thought, behavior, and relationships. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Communication from Bethel University, my Master’s Degree in Integrated Behavioral Health from the University of Minnesota, and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). My experience includes residential, crisis, outpatient, and community-based mental health settings. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges, pursue healing, and create meaningful change.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy creating art with my husband, spending time with family, coaching gymnastics, reading, traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with our two English Bulldogs.

Therapeutic Approach - My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. I believe that effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, authenticity, and nonjudgment. Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I work closely with each client to identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and develop practical strategies for growth. My hope is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, overcome obstacles, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
