Therapists in T4A

As human beings we face a variety of personal challenges. I agree with Historian and Musician Bernice Johnson Reagon who said, "Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are". It is my goal to always approach my clients in a non-judgemental, supportive manner. I will assist you in shifting self-defeating behaviors and thoughts through psycho-education, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practice. This will enable clients to learn new ways of addressing the issues they encounter and begin to understand themselves more deeply on their journey of healing and growth.

Sarah has more than 10 years of clinical experience working with clients and families in private practice, school, and agency-based settings. Client populations include the age ranges of preschool to adults with a variety of clinical presentations. Sarah's work involves evidence-based assessment and treatment for individuals. The focus is placed on a strength-based model to foster resiliency and direct intervention or development of an intervention plan to address areas of need.

I enjoy using my expertise to help children, adolescents, parents, and adults explore neurodevelopmental differences through supportive psychological assessment. The clients I work with are neurodiverse themselves, and/or have neurodivergent children. They are exploring this diversity to better understand themselves or their child, their needs, and how they can thrive at home, in school, in the workplace, and in their broader community. Diagnostic assessment can help to support appropriate interventions, access supports, clarify aspects of personal identity, and help people develop the story of who they are.

My interest in the holistic nature of mind, body and spirit was born out of experience within competitive hockey. Impactful counselling, therapy, and coaching involves working with both the mind and the emotional experiences accumulated in the body. My aim is to provide a supportive and encouraging environment where we can recondition your mind and rediscover your confidence. I believe the quality of our lives is largely dependent on the quality of our relationships. In honest confrontation of our patterns lies opportunity for lasting growth and healing.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to explore their needs and learn alongside me. I do not claim to know all the answers to all of life's questions, but I do have an advanced set of skills that can guide our path to what those answers could be. Through providing comprehensive psychological assessment and counselling services for children, youth, and adults, I enjoy getting to know my clients, unearthing their unique strengths and needs, and supporting them through all of life's exciting and stressful events.

I strive to help students, families, and school personnel teams navigate student's unique academic challenges.

My ideal client is a child or youth with significant anxiety issues. They need a better understanding of what is going on in their heads and in their bodies.

For most people, starting therapy takes a lot of courage and strength. To make it easier, I try my very best to provide compassion and acceptance in a safe & non-judgemental environment. My goal is to help people live better, more full lives; even if they are coping with anxiety or depression, addictions, relationship problems or even major life challenges like bereavement, divorce, job loss or other any other difficulties that life may present. I also work from a trauma informed perspective.

These are unprecedented times, rife with unprecedented challenges. The uncertainty of the situation, the lack of a map for understanding the present and envisioning the future, is a source of chronic stress for almost everyone one, and takes a particularly heavy toll on some. Its impacts are being felt at every level, experienced in ways that continue to evolve and that may be overwhelming. We are all new to this situation, but we are not new to grappling with unforeseen problems or having to pick our way though the unknown. Helping people to do that, even in ordinary times, is what my work is all about.
