Hi! I’m Sara
I enjoy connecting with nature, cheering on my two favourite football teams, reading, meditating, journaling, capturing moments through photography and spending quality time with my loved ones.
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
— Carl Rogers
Therapy is a space that allows for reflection, exploration, discovery and growth. It is a space where you can be your truest self and where your vulnerability will be met with compassion and empathy. I work with individuals of all identities and I am committed to creating a safe space where you are accepted, seen and heard for exactly who you are. Every part of you is welcome here.
As a person-centred therapist, I honour your inherent wisdom and deeply respect your individuality. Together, we will collaborate to create a plan that supports and empowers you on your healing journey.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and I completed my Master of Education in Counselling & Psychotherapy at the University of Toronto. I have experience working with individuals and youth facing challenges such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions and trauma. My therapeutic approach is integrative as I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs. I am grounded in trauma-informed and anti-oppressive practices. I acknowledge that parts of my identity hold privilege and I invite conversations about identity, systemic oppression and intersectionality into the therapeutic space.
I offer a complimentary fifteen-minute consultation call where we can discuss your goals and assess our therapeutic fit. I am honoured that you are here, and I look forward to supporting you!
