What traits must your future counselor possess? Should they make you feel heard and validated? Give you tools to succeed? If you said yes, I’m here to help! Life often throws a wrench in our plans, especially when it comes to our relationships, employment, health, finances, and the list goes on. And that’s on top of a global pandemic! It’s no wonder why depression, anxiety, and substance use are more prevalent than ever. As a cancer survivor, I understand how quickly it can feel like the walls are closing in. However, I’ve also learned ways to break free. It’s a primary reason I became a therapist: so I can help others do the same. My specialties including CBT and DBT, which focus on changing thinking and behaviors. This is achieved by building custom action plans for each of my clients. No cookie-cutter plans here! Popular areas to focus on include depression & anxiety, relationships, negative thinking, grieving, and chronic illness. We'll work on whatever is important to you. Making life-changes can be intimidating, but you won’t be going through this alone. I’ll give you hope and support, while simultaneously helping take some of life’s weight off your shoulders.

In my experience working with people from different countries, I’ve seen the importance of providing a safe space where you can be yourself, feel understood and accepted regardless of your culture, religion, race, gender identity, sexual preference, or background. A good therapeutic relationship and a common comprehension of what led you to start therapy, will allow us to guide the therapy process, integrate techniques from different therapies, and give you a better grasp of how to achieve your goals. I’m Bilingual in English and Spanish, I have a master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an Advanced Certification in Schema Therapy. I draw from an integrative psychotherapy orientation, that allows the integration of other evidence-based therapies/techniques.

Reaching out for help takes courage. It means that you are able to admit that you do not have all the answers and have the strength to acknowledge that you may be struggling. Experiencing personal conflicts can make you feel unsteady, anxious, and unsure about how to move forward. It is during these times, I believe that showing up authentically is the first step in moving forward. I believe that leaning into vulnerability and tuning into yourself is key to a transformative journey. Therapy is a safe place to remember who you are and discover the inherent power you hold to create a life that you will simply enjoy living. I view therapy as a collaborative process grounded in the human capacity for change. You are the expert of your own life and I desire to work alongside you to develop healthier relationships and learn effective strategies to overcome life’s obstacles. My goal is to create a supportive environment to foster healing, growth, and empowerment. I welcome all backgrounds with cultural sensitivity. I work with individuals seeking change in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship/family conflict, childhood behavioral problems, mood stability, self-esteem, and trauma. In practice, I utilize cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused, trauma focused CBT, and mindfulness.

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
The years of your twenties can be a time of growth and change. It also is a time filled with feelings of self-doubt, loneliness, and stress. You are being faced with challenges that didn't exist for your parents at your age. Now more than ever adolescents and young adults ages 13 and up are experiencing increasing symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulties with relationships. Times are not what they used to be and you deserve to be heard. Your opinions and feelings matter! You have worth and your voice is valued. If judgment from others didn't exist, what goals and dreams would you reach for I am with you on this journey, to discover your strengths, empower your soul, uncovering the passion within you. I provide a safe and empathetic environment that utilizes skills focusing on regulating emotions, improving relationships, cognitive distortions, while also incorporating strengths to increase confidence and true acceptance of self. When I was in my twenties, rather than feeling possibilities were endless, I struggled with feeling lost and alone. This period represented inadequacy and defeat. They were the most challenging years in my life. Through the battle with myself, I discovered my passion and ability to truly relate and understand this age group.
