Biography

Sarah has worked in the health care industry for twelve years.  Upon completion of her Masters Degree, she completed an internship in Biofeedback therapy.  During this internship she saw a variety of patients and symptoms (anxiety, depression, chronic pain, incontinence).  Sarah spent time working with a mentor, and another two years completing certification coursework.

Sarah’s clinical practice focuses on the cognitive behavioral aspect of therapy.  She believes the teaching component is just one piece of a larger puzzle in self-care.  The patient’s increased awareness and commitment to practice leads not only to symptom improvement but generalization into everyday life. 

Sarah begins every course of therapy with a patient consult.  The patient sits down face-to-face with her and discusses program goals, teaching, expectations, and what the patient hopes to achieve from therapy.  Sarah works with children, women and men, who are experiencing incontinence, and a variety of voiding dysfunction. In addition she also helps with Interstim programming.
