Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am an intern here at Stenzel. I am currently pursuing my master’s in clinical mental health counseling at Wheaton College.

It is my greatest honor to be able to walk alongside you as you journey through counseling. Showing up to counseling is a hard first step, and I am already so proud of you for starting this work! Above all else, I value creating a space for you to grieve, process, learn, and heal by meeting you with empathy, gentleness, and hope.

I practice a holistic approach, focusing on how your body, heart, and mind encounter your season’s difficulties. In addition to looking at your own life, I find it important to place you in the context in which you are living, examining the structures and systems that may be contributing. I utilize person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and brain-body connection interventions all through the lens of supporting and empowering you.

I look forward to the wonderful chance to journey with you.
