We are seeing a tremendous amount of people searching for relief from anxiety, depression and sleep disorders without the use of pharmaceutical medication. That is what is so wonderful about incorporating Neurofeedback into your lifestyle. No side effects, and no meds!

Since then, Sarah has lived in China, studied trauma-informed aftercare for children rescued from sex trafficking in Cambodia, and attended seminary in Portland, Oregon, where she earned a…
degree in Ministry & Leadership, and later earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling.
After obtaining her degrees and completing her internships, Sarah established Pneuma Counseling in 2015 where she has continued to learn and practice both Biblical and neuro-scientific approaches to mental healing.Sarah relocated to Mandeville in 2020 to continue her work in her hometown.
Because of her love for both Scripture and Mental Health, Sarah is passionate about synthesizing clinical and Biblical language to equip ministry leaders to see trauma through a Biblical lens.
Her unique practice is one of the only mental health centers to practice advanced neuroscientific approaches to healing that are based not only in Biblical truths, but also an understanding of God’s own design of the body/brain to heal. In her spare time, Sarah studies Theology and writes studies that marry clinical and Biblical observations.
