ABOUT ME.
Meet Sara
Because real life doesn’t always fit neatly into 50-minute sessions, my work doesn’t either. I offer longer sessions, walk-and-talk support, and counselling that moves beyond the traditional office.
โ
My approach blends professional training with lived experience.
As a Registered Social Worker in Vernon, BC, my work is recognized by most extended health benefit plans. But a lot of what I believe about counselling didn’t come from a textbook.โ
I believe...โ

-
You are not a problem to be solved.
-
Shame is useless. We don't need it.
-
Part of the work is unlearning what we were taught.
-
Insight is great. And so is action.
-
Small changes really add up.
-
Where we do the work matters.
-
Creativity matters.
-
The future is bright. Don't forget your sunglasses.
More Personal
I’m a mom to two amazing teens (both autistic, one with Type 1 diabetes), so I know just how exhausting parenting can be at every stage.
โ
I stepped away from frontline social work to homeschool my youngest, but I promised myself that when life settled, I’d open a practice to show up for people the way I wished someone had shown up for me.
โ
When I’m not with clients, my life looks something like this:
โโ
-
True crime podcasts playing in the background.
-
Exploring astrology, Human Design, and tarot before bed.
-
A weekly breathwork practice.
-
Kitchen karaoke, spontaneous dance routines and finding fun, playful ways to spend time with my husband, who I met on a blind date 23 years ago.
-
Thrifting, crafting, or redecorating. Can't stop, won't stop.
-
Housework, yardwork, paperwork, and the never-ending invisible work of running a household and small businesses.
-
Finding any excuse to bring people together in beautiful spaces.
And somewhere in the background of it all… building a forest-based carriage haus and renovating a tiny car-wash apartment for future sessions, gatherings and whatever else we dream up.
