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 services that come to you.
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.
-
I believe you are not a problem to be solved.
-
I believe shame has no business running your life.
-
I believe nothing changes if nothing changes.
-
I believe you don’t have to follow a script you never chose.
-
I believe your future self deserves a vote.
-
I believe joy is worth making room for.
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.
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.
When I’m not with clients, my life looks something like this:
-
Constantly feeding my teenagers.
-
True crime podcasts playing in the background.
-
Falling down astrology, Human Design, and tarot rabbit holes.
-
Weekly breathwork to keep me regulated.
-
Finding fun, playful ways to spend time with my husband, who I met on a blind date 23 years ago.
-
Renovating and redecorating our 1932 Harwood home.
-
Housework, yardwork, paperwork, and the never-ending invisible work of running a household and two businesses.
-
Being an indoorsy person who keeps getting dragged outside by my own better judgment.
-
Finding any excuse to bring people together in beautiful spaces.
And in the background of all of it, building a forest-based carriage haus and wellness campus for future sessions and community gatherings.
