Sarah – Clinical Counsellor – Registered Social Worker
In her work, clients have taught Sarah that there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy. She tailors her approach to each individual, taking into account your unique strengths, values, history, and challenges. Sarah works with teens, adults, and couples, recognizing the importance of meeting you where you are and providing the support needed to help you achieve your goals.
Sarah is a registered social worker in good-standing with the British Columbia College of Social Workers. She graduated with a Bachelor’s of Social Work from McMaster University, and holds her Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of British Columbia Okanagan. Her work has brought her to the frontlines of crisis situations as a support worker in shelters, as well as in structured therapeutic environments in second-stage housing, hospitals, and the counselling office. She brings a wealth of knowledge from her practice experience with survivors of intimate partner violence and their children, mental health and substance use, as well as direct counselling experience.
When not in the counselling office, Sarah enjoys finding healthy movement and a connection to nature in her daily life. As someone who grew up in competitive sport, healthy and enjoyable movement is therapeutic for her – whether this is hiking and spending time at the beach in the summer, or finding time to visit Big White in the winter.
