Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her). I work with university students, LGBTQ2S+ folks, athletes, and people of all ages navigating anxiety, medical trauma, identity, life transitions, relationship challenges, and changes in health or ability.
You may be reading this because you’re overwhelmed by worry about the future, struggling with self-esteem, facing a major life transition or changes in your health. You may feel disconnected and may feel confused about what you need, or where to even begin. You know for sure that you don’t want to keep feeling this way. I view therapy as an way to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have become difficult to access beneath external expectations, unhelpful coping patterns or difficult experiences. I honour the truth that you are not what happened to you.
Rather than trying to change who you are, we explore what has shaped you and what you need now to help you gain more clarity and groundedness. My approach includes Internal Family Systems-informed, somatic, mindfulness, and existential approaches to help you notice not only what you think and feel, but what you experience in your body as a tool to better self-understanding. Together, we can develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself and create change that feels genuine and sustainable.
The process of starting therapy can feel daunting, and you don’t have to know exactly where to begin. I’ll meet you where you are, and I offer complimentary 30-minute consultations to help us decide if we might be a good fit.
