WHO DOES SARA WORK WITH?

Sara works with survivors who are ready to face, integrate, and move through their stories and into a more balanced, fulfilling life. She works with individuals who are ready to explore how past experiences — particularly attachment wounds and trauma — shape their present-day patterns, relationships, and sense of self.

Sara specializes in working with highly sensitive people (complex PTSD as well as neurodiversity). She believes that every behaviour, even those we may want to change, once served an important, protective role. Together, we gently explore these patterns using tools like mindfulness, self-compassion, and body-based therapies, including EMDR and Trauma-Informed Yoga.

Healing is not about "fixing" you. It's about reconnecting with the parts of you that have always been wise and resilient.

If you're ready to begin that journey, I'm here to walk alongside you.
