Meet

Sarah

Sometimes it’s the little things that plague us and that won’t leave our minds that end up having a significant impact on our mental health. My goal is to offer a space where you feel comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind.

‍

No two people are the same and therapy shouldn’t be either. My practice approach is informed by Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Strengths-Based Solution-Focused Approaches. My goal is to find the best possible blend of these approaches to meet your personal needs and preferences while also helping you to reconnect with yourself and rebuild trust in your own ability to navigate your life.

‍

I recently completed my Masters of Social Work Degree after working in the field of community mental health and addictions for the past 18 years. I typically work with youth and adults who are struggling with complex trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, neurodivergence, relationship issues, and people who are trying to navigate periods of significant change.

‍

I also have extensive experience supporting individuals who are experiencing postpartum depression and/or anxiety, infertility, and pregnancy loss.

‍

Beyond the office, you can find me hiking, reading, playing baseball, or going on adventures with my kids.

‍

Reaching out for support takes tremendous courage. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out for a free 30-minute virtual or in-person consultation to see whether we’re a good fit.
