Hi, I’m Sarah 

& I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Sarah (she/her), a creative counsellor holding space for your story to unfold in colour, rhythm, and insight

In counselling, I create a compassionate, grounding space where you’re invited to be who you are, without needing to perform resilience or carry burdens that are not yours to bear. Together, we acknowledge the cost of holding too much and explore what it means to reclaim your nervous system, your energy, your self. I have a Masters in Counselling from City University, a Visual Arts diploma from UFV, as well as extended minors in the Arts and English - it was in school that I realized I also had ADHD and received a late diagnosis.

Outside of the counselling space, I’m also a visual artist. My work explores complex stories via photographs and essays. Through vibrant colours, florals, and storytelling, my art brings grief, memory, and meaning into a visible, tangible form that honors both pain and beauty. I love creating. Photographs are how I’ve always made sense of the world and my place in it - and collaborating with others is magic.

I hold space for grief, expression and even joy to unfold in its own time and way. I am here to witness your story, gently inviting you toward your own rhythm of healing and presence.

I believe this with my whole heart.

Connecting with water

I love knick-knacks, books, and black and white photos of strangers.

A woman with blonde hair, pink glasses, and a wide smile, wearing a light blue shirt and a striped skirt, standing on a concrete path in a grassy park during daytime with a clear sky.

I think of hope like this beautiful pink cloud hovering over a long gravel road.

I’m so excited to meet you.

Let’s begin, gently - I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so you can get a sense of what it might be like to work together. It’s a chance to ask questions, share what you’re hoping for, and see if this feels like a good fit - no pressure, no expectations.
