Meet Sara, MSW, RSW
EMDR Therapist & Certified Clinical Trauma Professional
Hi, I'm Sara! I'm so glad you're here.
Here's a bit about me:
In my personal life I am a mother, a yogi, a dancer, and a lover of books, coffee, and long walks in the woods.
In my therapist life I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW) Therapist with special designations as a Certified EMDR Therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Since graduating from my graduate degree at the University of Waterloo in 2017 I have pursued my passion for helping folks navigate and heal from trauma and adverse life events.
I have special training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS Informed*), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and many integrated trauma therapies from renowned experts such as Dr. Janina Fisher, Dr. Pat Ogden, Dr. Arielle Schwartz and Dr. Peter Levine. Please see my "about" page for a comprehensive list.
I believe that all human beings have inherent good at their core, but adverse life events, trauma, and circumstances can draw us away from our true nature as we dive into survival mode. I believe strongly in the capacity of the mind, body, and spirit to return to equilibrium and heal.
Hey Sara! I just wanted to send you a message letting you know how much I appreciate your time and effort organizing this workshop! Tonight resonated with me deeply, and I am so excited and touched to be able to connect with so many thoughtful and inspiring women in a safe space :) ❤️
