My website

I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, body image concerns, and difficult family relationships. Many are highly capable people who appear to be coping well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or self-critical within. My practice is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for diverse identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. While I work with adults from many walks of life, I often support women navigating perimenopause, parents of neurodivergent children, men seeking emotional growth, and adults healing childhood wounds.

My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, self-compassion, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Therapy is tailored to your needs and helps you understand yourself more deeply, reduce emotional suffering, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you've been carrying things on your own for a long time. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you can explore challenges openly and at your own pace. If you're ready for change, I'd be honoured to support you.

3 Endorsements

Sarah is a wonderful, highly skilled, humble individual and therapist, who is also kind, patient, compassionate, present, attuned, non-judgemental, and wise in her work with clients. I highly recommend her!

Matthew Rippeyoung

Psychologist, MA, CPsych

Sarah is the best combination of compassion and competence. Her conceptualization of the work is more than the concrete "tools" that therapists can suggest. She understands humans and their complexities and provides compassionate care to her people.
