Being human is weird and messy. Maybe you feel stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, wondering, Why do I keep doing this? Maybe intimacy feels complicated, trauma keeps showing up in ways you don’t expect, or you’re just trying to figure out who you are and what you actually need. You want deeper self-trust, better emotional regulation, and connections that don’t feel like a rollercoaster. Most of all, you want to feel like you—without the weight of old patterns holding you back.

Are you a student or young adult facing anxiety, challenging relationships, or stress with food and body image?
The transitions throughout high school to university to adult life can be so stressful and overwhelming. The pressure to succeed, present a certain image and be the best version of yourself can often spiral us into anxiety, low mood and unhealthy coping habits.
I work with youth, adults and families to help them feel more hopeful. Let me help you get to know yourself without all of the noise. I know you can take steps to grow your confidence, find your light and feel your strongest.

The poet, Mark Doty, writes: "What did you think, that joy was some slight thing?" The common view of therapy is that it's a place to unload & unpack the hardships & woes that burden you. Many of us are accustomed to thinking that joy is 'some slight thing', that our shadows are far more complex, dynamic & compelling. Contrary to this, my experiences as a therapist reveal to me how people's resilience, hopes & dreams are far more sophisticated & worthy of examination than the tricks & underbellies of their so-called demons. I am passionate about helping people reclaim joy & vitality; to find possibilities where they only see walls.

Often described as having a calm presence, Sara Jungen is a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about supporting individuals to live in the present, unburdened by the past. Sara completed her B.A. (honours) in Psychology at the University of Calgary, and after some time doing therapeutic work both locally and internationally, it became clear that in order to be of most benefit to others, she needed to further her training and delve deeper into her own process.

You move through the world carrying so much—offering care, holding space, showing up for others. But where do you get to slow down? Where do you get to be truly seen, heard, and held with gentleness? I offer a soft, steady space for deep, slow work. No quick fixes, no rigid strategies—just a place to breathe, to turn inward, and to reconnect with yourself.

You experience good days and not-so-good days. You don’t discuss your feelings with your family because you don’t want to burden them. Your friends have their struggles, so you don’t talk about your panic anxiety, perfectionism, or low self esteem. Instead, you keep it to yourself, and you cope by minimising, normalising, or denying how you feel. Consequently, your relationship with your partner and family members is impacted. You stay busy and focus on things you can control, like work. Talking and processing your feelings can help you feel less overwhelmed. We can implement changes as we learn where your issues stem from.

Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? Worried about your work or relationships? Struggling with uncertainty? Finding yourself avoiding or procrastinating on things that are important to you? Life is incredibly difficult at times, and we often feel alone in our suffering. You don't have to get through it on your own. In counselling, when we feel safe and understood, we can connect to our natural ability to heal and thrive. I work with my clients to help them to deeply explore and make sense of their struggles, uncover their inner wisdom and resilience, and become their best, most authentic selves.
