I am excited to work with people to find meaning in the messiness. I value collaboration, compassion, curiosity and openness — and I support connection, community and expression. I bring non-judgement and a deep thoughtfulness to the more unpleasant parts of human experience, and I encourage coming into relationship with these aspects, and exploring ways to create a more meaningful, fulfilling life. In my one-on-one counselling, I support you in moving through the discomfort that comes with exploring your life’s challenges. Our work together will offer ways to explore what brings meaning to your life and human relationships.

12 years in full time practice, 6 years as a peer counselling volunteer. 18 years experience. Since beginning in practice I have logged over 10000+ direct client hours. In that time I have helped a number of individuals, and couples overcome obstacles to their health and well-being.

As a counsellor I collaborate with every client to understand the power of their story and for my clients to feel heard and honoured. I view counselling as a place for individuals to explore talk therapy alongside expressive arts to create space for understanding parts of themselves that at times can be hard to put words to. My approach in the counselling space is holistic, strengths-based, creative, and highly collaborative.

It can be challenging to articulate our emotions and experiences - using art materials in therapy can help us express and more deeply understand ourselves. Art therapy can support those wishing to explore stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, grief and loss, trauma, life direction, chronic illness and more. I aim to support each client as they grow and heal, restore internal balance and harmony, and connect with the sparks that align them with their most authentic and whole selves. Sessions combine talk therapy with art making - art expressions can offer wisdom and insight as clients embark on their therapeutic journey.

Sometimes, it may seem impossible to show up confidently in our unique ways of expression and remain in connection with others. I know what it is like to feel alone, to feel stuck without a clear way forward. It takes courage to seek support with a desire to enter the world differently.

I have made it a priority to have this process be as comfortable for you as possible as I recognize feelings of uncertainty may be present. It is so common that we find ourselves in situations where we feel stuck and are unsure where to go from here…. This is where I can help as this feeling is far from ideal. During this process, it’s important to remember to be patient with yourself and understand that you may be experiencing these emotions for an underlying reason, which I can help discover.

Are you often overwhelmed or disconnected? Are you wanting to explore who you are and how you show up in your life? Do you feel stuck in unhelpful coping patterns? Are you wanting to increase your ability to identify your needs and feelings, but aren’t sure where to start? Would you like to work with a neuro-affirming queer therapist who has experience working with 2SLGBTQ+, ADHD, and Indigenous folks?

I specialize in exploring archetypal stories in the body, meaning I seek to explore questions such as: Why do I repeat these patterns? What am I not seeing? What are my blindspots? What is missing? Why can't I see through this? What do I really want? I work with you to gather forms and ideas from which the interplay of the Arts and the body help to reveal ways one can understand and integrate ailments of body, heart, mind and soul.

Thank you for stopping by my page. Regardless of what brought you here, I congratulate you on making one step toward seeking wellness.

Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task.

I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA2S+ folks, BIPOC folks, and sex workers, and I welcome anyone outside of these communities to reach out as well.

I believe that we are all resilient beings, in the process of healing and growing; we have the capacity to explore new ways of living, being and connecting. I’d love to help you break through feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your life, to reignite a deeper sense of worthiness and confidence, feel anchored in your strengths, and more present with yourself and in your relationships. I specialize in helping people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, family and relational issues, trauma, life transitions, stress/burnout, and grief & loss.

Hello there, are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Do you feel stuck in your relationships? Are you looking for change but feel like you are going in circles and not making progress? Do you feel haunted by traumatic experience in the past? Life is joyful and precious but oftentimes it can throw you a curveball. How would meeting with a counsellor help? Counselling is a beautifully collaborative work where you would be invited to unfold your own story and rewrite it with new meanings. Strengths are identified, goals are met, skills are learnt, and changes are made in the safe and accepting therapeutic process.

If you're tired of anxiety running your life, if your relationship has grown stale or is filled with conflict, if you're dealing with trauma or feeling stuck, empty or unhappy and don't know what to do to change your life, I can help.

I've been a therapist and life and relationship coach for over twenty years.

Hi, I'm Sarah! My goal is to help you create links between the insights you gain in counselling and effective behaviour change that can translate across all aspects of your life so that you can get the most out of our time together. We all get stuck in patterns that no longer serve us - although these patterns were once likely useful in our lives, there comes a point where they hold us back. But change is difficult and hard to do on our own - here's where I can support you! I am passionate about working with individuals from intersectional-feminist and anti-oppressive approaches.

Life can sometimes darken our hearts and make things feel difficult or even hopeless, as if there is no way out. You may battle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism or low self-worth while a strong inner critic berates you every step of the way. Perhaps you feel pulled in different directions, while feeling as though you are losing control over your life - at a loss to know where to start in order to break the negative cycles you find yourself trapped in. Amidst all this, relationships may suffer, not only with others, but also with yourself as you strive to find who you really are amongst all the chatter and chaos of your mind.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional, I specialize in working alongside perinatal folks experiencing birth trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, infertility, and parental identity challenges.

As a client, you will find a comforting and safe environment for self-exploration, leaving each session feeling understood.
