Therapy is an opportunity for you to gain support while working through different issues, crises, and traumas as well as working towards achieving your personal goals. Together, we can really hone into what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward that best suites you. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and spirit such as Jungian, transpersonal, somatic, mindfulness, attachment, and creative expression approaches. I also have a sandtray in my office for sandplay! My specialties include trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and others. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. NARM (Neuro Affective Relational ModeI) level 2, IFS (Internal Family Systems) level 1. I am also in the Trauma informed Expressive Arts Therapy training. MA in Jungian psychology.

Are you on the struggle bus and can’t find a way off? Adult-ing is hard, amiright?! Most of my clients are young adults navigating ALL.THE.THINGS while trying to make everyone else happy. Spoiler alert: THIS ISN’T SUSTAINABLE!! Our work together is to guide you in sorting through all the mental muck, tapping into the most authentic version of you. I am not your typical therapist. Well, I do like cardigans and wide rimmed glasses. I also like to laugh a lot and cuss a little, or cuss a lot and laugh a little—depends on the day! Either way, you will receive my most authentic self, honesty in your journey, and a depth of specialized trainings to guide your experience. So, if you feel ready to reach out and get on the path to being enough/good enough and living your best life for YOU, instead of everyone else—email me. Email is the easiest and fastest way to connect with me.

I help college students who struggle with anxiety, disordered eating, body image, low self-esteem, people pleasing, and impostor syndrome. My clients struggle like you do. Despite being helpers with big hearts who pour into others, life feels hard. They are stuck in anxious thought cycles and exhausted. When they first reach out to me, they are tired of feeling anxious. They often say that they sometimes aren’t even sure if they really need therapy because they are getting by in life. Their professors, classmates, and friends all think that they are okay, but inside they feel overwhelmed, stressed, and self-conscious. They are often up at night replaying interactions with others, running through all their worries, and stressing about their to-do lists. Often, they feel a like a fraud; like they somehow managed to trick their way to where they’re at in life and worry that they aren’t capable of the dreams for their future. They wish they could open up to others easier and introduce themselves to new people. They often worry about what other people are thinking and care a lot about the feelings of those around them. They are really good at taking care of others yet struggle to put themselves first. ​Their anxiety gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t fully the kind of student they want to be. They feel like they are failing at juggling everything that’s on their plate. They feel drained in their relationships. Their confidence in their ability to take on new jobs and opportunities is tanking. Like my clients, you deserve to feel capable of accomplishing your future goals. You deserve to feel happy, self-assured, and worthy. You deserve to live each day knowing that you’re good enough. If you want to bloom into your most confident self, I’d love to help you get there. E-mail now and let's get started; your problems aren’t too small for therapy. I can help! Sarah@BloomMqt.com ​​ ​

Every coping strategy has helped you survive up until this point, but not all work long-term, and change can be scary! I'm here to help. I’m a social worker and alcohol and drug counselor. I use specialized skills to help you conquer the life events that have left you feeling like someone you don’t know. I embrace and affirm all sexualities, gender identities and expressions, racial and ethnic identities, and body sizes. It would be an honor to join the courageous journey of being you.

I believe that every person already has what they need to heal, but sometimes our “okay-ness” gets stuck under layers of self-protection and hurt. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that involves peeling back the layers that help protect you, to remove what no longer serves you, so you can get to your true authentic self.

From our practice website: "We understand that going to see a therapist can be a very difficult decision. We are committed to ensuring our clients are treated with the utmost respect and sensitivity. Initially, we work with the the client to gain an understanding of their concerns. From there, we create and implement a treatment plan geared to the client (or families) goals. We actively and continuously seek feedback to make sure that our clients are getting their needs met. Research has consistently demonstrated that the quality of the relationship between a therapist and their client is at the core of whether therapy will be successful. Using our skills and experiences, we work to create a safe and trusting environment to meet your goals. We use a strength-based approach in working with our clients. Often, we build upon these strengths to create interventions that will help. We utilize evidenced based treatments whenever possible. This means the approaches we use are well researched and found to be helpful in addressing the presenting challenges. Our team continues to receive training and professional development as we believe that as therapists we are never done learning. When we work with children and teens, we believe that parents are the expert. We believe parental involvement is a critical component of the treatment. Our approach is to create a “team environment” that includes the child, family, school (when necessary), physician, and therapist to provide the optimal level of support to address whatever problems the child is experiencing. Since the child is the most important person in this effort, he or she becomes the “captain” of this team. We will always address your child respectfully and in a developmentally appropriate manor. We know and appreciate that you are entrusting us with you or a family member’s care. We will do everything we can to make our work together a helpful and enriching experience."

Dealing with anxiety and depression can be challenging, but working with a clinician can provide relief by offering coping strategies, emotional support, and guidance tailored to each individual's unique needs. How I contribute to my patient's needs is to provide a safe and comfortable space by listening without judgment, respecting confidentiality, and encouraging open communication. These elements help create a healing environment where my patients feel supported and empowered to manage daily life more effectively.
