With that in mind, she recently graduated from WMU with a MA in clinical mental health counseling as well.

As both an LVT and LLPC Sarah finds meaning in honoring the human-animal bond. She does this by helping clients say goodbye to their beloved pets and by being present with them through their grief process. She focuses much of her counseling practice on helping clients move through their grief and other mental health struggles. She also works to advocate for and provide support to veterinary professionals suffering from burnout and compassion fatigue. Frequently referred to as the “staff therapist”, she is always happy to listen and provide a compassionate ear to those around her.

When Sarah is not working with us or her human clients she is spending time with her husband, son, and their dog “Kevin Noodles”. Having spent much of her life away from family she doesn’t take for granted that her sister lives right down the road and her parents are in Sutton’s Bay. As a firm believer that making meaning out of what we do and how we spend our time is of utmost importance, Sarah is grateful to call Traverse City and BAPH her home.
