Hello and welcome. I'm Sarah, my practice is focused on individual adults. I support people who are seeking space to reflect, understand their patterns, and develop steadier ways of coping. Curiosity and self-inquiry are key parts of this work — they help you explore your inner world and make meaningful shifts at your own pace. I work with clients seeking support with a variety of concerns in addition to specific supports with neurodivergence and perimenopause support. I also work with veterans, first responders and journalists — people who often carry complex stories of responsibility, resilience, and moral strain.
My approach blends evidence-informed training with lived experience to create a grounded, supportive space for reflection and meaningful change.
Therapy is a place where you can safely try new ways of being and notice how those patterns play out. If you’d like to connect, please share if you'd prefer in-person or virtual. I am also an ICBC-approved counsellor.

There is no one-sized fits all approach to therapy. That's why I draw upon several different approaches based on each persons individual needs.
