Meet Sarah 

I am a registered social worker (RSW), holding an Honours Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Wilfrid Laurier University. I am currently pursuing a Master’s of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University. I have over three years of experience in the field of Social Work including working with individuals experiencing homelessness, within a school setting, child welfare and clinical therapy. I have received specialized training in areas of attachment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and brief solution focused therapeutic modalities.

 

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where clients of all ages, genders, and backgrounds feel heard and respected. I work primarily with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and concerns connected to attachment and relationships. I recognize that people who have multifaceted identities do not belong to a single category of identity, but rather multiple, intersecting ones and it becomes important to understand and reflect on all aspects of oneself. 

 

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time being creative and making functional pieces of pottery out of clay. My cottage is my favourite, a place where I can unwind, connect with nature, and rejuvenate. Additionally, I have a passion for traveling to new countries, which allows me to experience diverse cultures, cuisines, and landscapes, broadening my perspective of the world.
