Hi, I'm Sabrina. I work with adult individuals and bring a friendly, easy-going approach and sense of acceptance and safety to the sessions. Clients I see are experiencing depression or anxiety and are looking to ease their symptoms. Other issues I commonly work with are emotional loneliness, self-esteem, navigating family dynamics, relationship issues, and impostor syndrome.

A warm welcome and hello… You’ve taken a brave step coming here, so let me share a little about myself and how working together can help. For 20 years I’ve been privileged to help people feel more like themselves again, so that they ‘show up’ in their lives (and relationships) in ways that fit with who they are and what they value. My approach is strength based, collaborative and individualized – this means that there is no one cookie-cutter ‘model’ for our sessions together. Instead we co-create the approach and structure that works for You.

Are you having trouble communicating with the people in your life? I work with people who have trouble with identifying and enforcing boundaries. We can work together to increase your knowledge and ability to better communicate with people in interpersonal and romantic relationships. If you often don't feel heard or misunderstood, I can help you to figure out how to speak with people in a way that will help you to be heard and understood.

The world can be a very demanding place. Bombarded by messages of “you are not enough” we question our work-ethic, intelligence, looks, and more. It becomes so normalized that when we do receive a compliment we feel awkward and uneasy. Some are paralyzed by fear, worried that any mistake we make will confirm their worthlessness. Others shut down, intimidated by the vast amount of effort needed to live up to impossible standards. If you are trying to handle this alone then you are asking a lot of yourself.

You feel off balance with your emotional, physical or spiritual health but find it hard to reach out. When you do try, you may feel like you're burdening others or the idea of opening up to someone you don't know might seem challenging. This is why trust is at the core of my practice because I recognize how hard it is to share or try something new. Together, we'll create a non-judgemental space so you can feel safe sharing your hopes, joys, fears and sorrows (and everything in-between).

Each of us has a Story worth knowing. Our life stories are full of triumphs and tragedies, and everything in between. Our stories are meant for great care, that is, we are meant to have compassionate witnesses at every moment of our joy, heartache, or shame throughout our lives. The presence of another kindly contending on our behalf changes us. Our own presence kindly contending for our own heart changes us. Kindness changes us.

Life can be very challenging in a fast new country, and you're finding it difficult to fit in here far from your home while building your whole life from scratch. There are so many family pressures that it seems like the parents don't understand you, not to mention the kids drive you crazy and even the spark with your partner has all but faded away. These challenges have impacted both your personal and professional lives and drained you physically, mentally and emotionally. Something is not right and you're overwhelmed but you don't want to burden anyone with what you are going through. You need and want someone to listen.

Only accepting refugee claimants for individual work. Open to all for relationship therapy. Counselling can be a powerful tool for change. I strive to co-create a therapeutic environment in which people can safely push their edges of self reflection & feel supported to deepen their awareness of themselves in relationship to self, intimate others, community and a broader sociopolitical context. My work is deeply shaped by queer-positive, anti-racist, and trauma-informed perspectives. I am experienced working with issues related to migration & belonging, sexuality & gender, trauma, relationship dynamics & identity formation in youth.

The day-to-day can feel like it’s too much sometimes. If you find yourself feeling constantly overstimulated, agitated, overwhelmed and unfocused- you are not alone. Shame may be speaking loudly and telling you that you’re the only one struggling in this way, that you are not enough. Together we can begin shifting your relationship with yourself, the inner critic, and the world around you. We can work towards finding your voice, your creativity and your authenticity even in the most challenging of spaces. It is possible to move to a place of fulfillment and purpose where you are empowered to be a compassionate ally for yourself.

My approach to healing is largely informed by my own experience in individual and group therapy. As a therapist, I show up as my authentic self and believe that creating a safe therapeutic environment is the foundation to building trust and connection. I believe that feeling seen and heard by a person we feel safe with allows us the vulnerability to move towards and process difficult feelings and experiences. My hope is to support you to connect more fully with your thoughts and feelings and explore how your life experiences may be impacting your well-being and preventing you from feeling fully connected to yourself and others.

In this moment, you are not feeling like yourself. You're trying to "find that spark" but nothing is working. You don't quite know who to talk to. Finding the right therapist is overwhelming (on a good day), yet here you are. You are taking a chance that you are not very sure about. I understand that the first step is often the most difficult and offer a a client-centred stance, working collaboratively with each client, adapting to their personal style.

Seeking out therapy is a brave and powerful step towards creating space in your life for deeper happiness and contentment. I support my clients in their work to gain self-knowledge, change ineffective emotional and behavioral patterns, explore relationships, and enrich their personal wellness. I bring with me extensive experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety disorders, relationship issues, past trauma, and struggles with self esteem. I integrate therapeutic methods such as CBT, Emotion Focused, and Narrative Therapy but assess the individual where they are to determine best approach.

Feeling overwhelmed by all that’s happening around you can lead to burnout as you try to take care of everything and everyone. You may be a queer recent grad stepping into a new job or exploring a new relationship and as much as you’re excited about these changes, there's a disconnect between your wants and needs. Or you may be a mom who feels guilty or ashamed for not doing or being enough, which is starting to show up in ways that are hurting you and those you care most about. If you are someone feeling stuck in patterns of resentment or disappointment, I am here to support you in bringing more balance and joy back into your life.

The decision to seek therapy may arise for a number of reasons, including difficulties associated with depression or anxiety, feeling "stuck" in life, grieving, relationships, trauma, or addictions. You might also be in search of meaning in your life, or you want to explore making career or other life changes. Whatever your desire to seek support, therapy provides a safe and confidential space where you can make sense of what is not working for you, heighten awareness of yourself and your difficulties, and with support begin to accept yourself or make changes that are more reflective or who you are and what you want.

Therapy is a non-judgmental and safe space where you will learn to unlock your inner strength and develop healthy mechanisms to navigate life. Doing it alone can be isolating and anxiety producing, but the good news is that you do not have to do it all by yourself. As your therapist I recognize that you are the expert of your experiences, and I will actively participate in your process of change. I draw on strength-based, trauma-focused, and narrative therapy in my work with individuals.
