Big Feelings, tough moments we'll figure it out together
Clinical Counselling for
Children, Youth & Their Families
Welcome
I'm so glad you've found your way here! As a mother of two and a passionate advocate for children and youth mental health, I understand how important it is for children to feel heard, safe and supported.
My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where clients can express themselves freely and work through their challenges in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.
​
​Imagine a life where your child feels more empowered to express themselves, manage stress, and develop healthy coping skills. With support, your family can create lasting positive change and find a sense of balance, peace, and connection. I’m here to listen, support, and guide you on this journey, every step of the way.

Hello - I'm Sari
MSW, RSW University of Toronto: Child & Family Specialization
With nearly 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, young adults, and families, I'm dedicated to providing you with compassionate and holistic clinical care. I have worked in a variety of settings, including over 10 years in the public education system. I help students manage academic stress, bullying, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health challenges.
I have also worked extensively with individuals affected by separation, divorce, trauma and grief/loss, including survivors of domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse, guiding them through their healing journey to reclaim stability and control.
​
Meaningful connection, collaboration, and compassion are key for the healing process. I provide child-centered therapy for clients ages 4 and up, with specialized training in play-based interventions to support emotional growth and healing.
I'm also passionate about working with teens, young adults and parents, to build coping skills, and improve quality of life.
​
I use an integrative approach to therapy, blending a variety of evidence-based practices:
​
-
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
-
Motivational Interviewing
-
Narrative Therapy
-
Expressive Arts
-
Trauma-Informed Care​
I believe that every individual is the expert of their own life, and with the right support and tools, everyone has the capacity to heal and grow.
I am committed to creating a safe, empowering therapeutic space where you feel heard, supported, and equipped to navigate your emotional journey, build resilience, and develop lasting coping strategies.​​​​​

Every client deserves a space where they can feel heard, understood and supported.

Family dynamics can be complex but with open communication and understanding, positive change is possible. In family sessions, I work with all members to improve communication, strengthen relationships and address challenges that may be impacting the family unit. Together, we'll explore solutions that foster understanding, and support a stronger, more connected family bond.
