Hello! I’m Sarah

About Me

Life can throw a lot of challenges at us, and I learned the value of having a dedicated counsellor to support us and our loved ones through it all at a very young age.
Having started my career studying Psychology at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, I quickly was able to appreciate the power of asking questions to better understand the people around me. I have over five years (and counting) of experience working in research exploring mental health help-seeking behaviours and emotional, cognitive, and language development in youth anywhere from 10 months old to 24 years old. While I loved striving to understand the science behind mental health in my undergraduate studies, I found myself starting to wonder about the wider social factors that influence wellness.

My passion for understanding mental health from a social justice lens led me to packing my life into my little car and making the 36-hour drive across the country to Kelowna, BC to get my Master of Social Work at the University of British Columbia. My experience supporting folks in my community has led me to working in a wide range of settings with people from all walks of life. Some of my past experiences include volunteering as a support worker with senior citizens living with dementia, serving as the after-school program coordinator for an at-risk youth mental health program, working in outreach with folks experiencing addiction, homelessness, and complex mental health challenges, and ultimately finding my passion for counselling as a youth mental health clinician. My wide range of experiences have allowed me to become extremely adaptable in meeting clients wherever they are and working towards their own unique definition of what healing and wellness might look like for them.

I currently provide services for adults and youth ages 12 and up.

When I’m not counselling, you can likely find me hiking, camping, reading, drawing, painting,
or admiring the ocean with a good cup of coffee.
I’m so excited you’re here and I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to hear your story.
