Sarah is a student therapist who joins the Branches Team with a wealth of experience, which includes supporting families and youth with Interior Community Services, working closely with neurodiverse youth and their families as a Certified Educational Assistant, as well as completing a 300 hour practicum with Lii Michif Otipemisiwak (LMO) creating trauma-informed programming for children.

Sarah’s therapeutic approach is rooted in relationships. She relies on person-centered and strength-based theories which means she believes people are inherently good and that we all have what we need to navigate life’s paths. It is her passion to support you and yours along the way to cultivate your best wellness. Given her experience with neurodiversities, including Autism, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and ADHD, Sarah is well-equipped to support.
