How Sarah Approaches Therapy

Sarah considers it a privilege to walk alongside individuals during seasons of life that feel uncertain, tender, or transformative. Her approach to therapy is deeply shaped by her belief in the importance of accompaniment—meeting clients with presence, care, and respect as they navigate meaningful transitions. Sarah’s passion for this work grew through years of supporting young adults in a college setting, where she witnessed both the courage it takes to seek help and the profound impact of receiving support during the formative years of emerging adulthood. 


In sessions, Sarah balances emotional exploration with practical tools, helping clients develop deeper self-understanding while learning to respond to life’s challenges with intention, resilience, and self-compassion.

It's okay—and normal—to feel unsure about therapy

We understand that pursuing counseling is a leap of faith. Your mental and emotional struggles may be brand new, or maybe they've been around as long as you can remember. Either way, it can be hard to believe in what Catholic counseling can offer and put yourself out there.


No matter your past, your future is full of hope for something better. At Ora et Labora Catholic Counseling, we are committed to you wherever you are starting. We believe that you can begin again anytime, and we're here to help you believe that, too.
