Services & Fees
Sarah works with teens, young adults, and adults. Her speciality is the younger end of that range. In-person sessions in Kelowna, virtual sessions anywhere in BC. A free 15-minute consultation is available before you commit to anything.
Racing thoughts, constant worry, physical tension, avoidance — anxiety shows up differently in different people but the underlying experience is usually the same: the feeling that something bad is about to happen, even when nothing is. Sarah works to understand what's driving the anxiety, not just manage its symptoms.
Trauma doesn't always look like what you'd expect. It can be a single event or a pattern of experiences — childhood abuse, sexual trauma, religious trauma, physical harm, or simply a childhood that didn't give you what you needed. Sarah uses trauma-focused, attachment-based approaches to help you process what happened and reconnect with yourself.
Sarah offers a genuinely affirming space for clients exploring questions of identity — gender, sexuality, faith, cultural identity, or who they are in relation to the people around them. This isn't a "speciality" added as a checkbox; it's an area she's deeply committed to and experienced in.
The central focus of Sarah's practice. She works with this age group not because it's a market but because she finds them the most interesting, the most resilient, and the most underserved. Young people get a different kind of session — less structured, more responsive, and adapted to where they actually are rather than where adults think they should be.
Sarah has experience working with clients navigating disordered eating, complex relationships with food and their bodies, and the emotional terrain that underlies these patterns. This work is approached with care, without judgment, and at a pace that respects the complexity involved.
For adults at turning points — a relationship ending, a career shift, a period of grief, or simply the feeling of being stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Sarah's approach is collaborative and grounded in understanding who you are and what a meaningful way forward looks like for you specifically.
Therapeutic Approach
Sarah's primary framework is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), grounded in Attachment Theory. EFT is one of the most evidence-supported therapeutic models available, and it's particularly well-suited to the work she does with teens and young adults — because it goes to the emotional root of things rather than just working on behaviour or thought patterns.
She also draws on trauma-focused techniques, mindfulness-based approaches, and narrative therapy depending on what the person in front of her needs. The approach is genuinely collaborative — not a fixed model applied from the outside.
Primary modality. Rooted in Attachment Theory — focuses on emotional experience and relational patterns as the pathway to lasting change.
Understanding how early relational experiences shape current emotional responses and relationship patterns.
Specialised approaches for processing traumatic experiences — applied when appropriate and always at the client's pace.
Drawn on when useful, alongside CBT and person-centred foundations.
The free 15-minute consultation is specifically for this — ask what you need to ask, and get a straight answer.
