Life can feel unpredictable at times—joyful and expansive, and at other times overwhelming or uncertain. Therapy offers a supportive space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with one’s strengths. Each person’s story matters. Together, clients and therapist can explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped them and work toward new chapters marked by resilience, meaning, and greater ease.

Sara provides therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma (including complex and long-term trauma), relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She also works with children and youth navigating emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges, and supports parents facing the many complexities of caregiving, family dynamics, and parenting stress.

Sara is particularly committed to working with individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, LGBTQ2S+ communities, and Indigenous peoples, with a deep recognition of how identity, belonging, and systemic inequities intersect with mental health and healing.

Her approach is integrative and grounded in humanistic values. She draws from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and client-centered therapies, while incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Rooted in an anti-oppressive framework, her goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

She is a Registered Psychotherapist with a Master of Psychology from Adler Graduate Professional School and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD). She practices under the clinical supervision of Dr. Rex Collins. Sara offers care in English, French, and Farsi, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and supportive.

She respectfully acknowledges that she lives and works on the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples and strives to honor their resilience, histories, and healing traditions by grounding her work in respect, cultural humility, and an ongoing commitment to anti-oppressive practice.
