WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA

Upon completing her graduate degree, Sarah continued working in a non-profit counseling setting focused specifically on LGBTQ+ issues. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community herself, Sarah understands and identifies with many of the issues that those in the community face, and has helped countless couples, individuals and families navigate the unique and often more complex struggles the LGBTQ+ population encounters, including transition, HRT, employment issues, coming out, etc. She has also led groups for a local non-profit HIV advocacy group focusing on education, support and mental health for those newly diagnosed with HIV. 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. She also completed Gottman’s Treating Affairs and Trauma training, along with Couples and Addiction Recovery, allowing her to help couples who have trauma histories and/or affairs or addiction issues work through their difficulties. She also is a part of the Gottman Referral Network as the only therapist within a ten mile radius of her office who has completed the requirements of the program. Sarah also has extensive experience working with polyamorus couples, couples with a BDSM dynamic, same-sex couples, and couples where one member is in transition. These couples appreciate Sarah’s lack of judgement and open-mindedness, as well as her eagerness to learn about their specific relationship dynamic, as no two are exactly alike.
