About Sarah
Hi, I’m Sarah!
Â
I’m a Registered Psychologist and trained Art Therapist, and I’m so glad you’re here.
​
I believe that counselling should be a space where you can feel safe, supported, and accepted exactly as you are. My approach is empathetic, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity and authenticity. I strive to create a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story, exploring what’s happening in your life, and finding a path forward that feels right for you.
​
My therapeutic approach is client-centred and trauma-informed. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Art Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Somatic Therapies. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I tailor our work together to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
Â
I’m especially passionate about helping people develop a deeper understanding of themselves — their thoughts, emotions, patterns, relationships, and the ways their experiences have shaped them.

Counselling can be a place to learn new coping strategies, build emotional regulation skills, work through difficult experiences, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate greater balance and peace.
​
I’m also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and mindfulness, movement, grounding, and connection with the body are important parts of how I understand wellbeing. I love bringing these perspectives into my work when they feel helpful and meaningful for a client.
​
Outside of counselling, you can usually find me getting lost in a book with a cup of coffee, watering my plants, practicing yoga, or enjoying the outdoors with my family and our dog.
​
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress or burnout, trauma, a life transition, relationship difficulties, questions around identity or self-esteem, or simply feeling like you’re not quite yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Â
You are welcome here, exactly as you are. I would love the opportunity to meet you and support you along the way.
