My social work journey started from a young age, and I have worked very hard to continue to grow my educational and professional background in the hopes of being fully equipped to help those in need of assistance, counselling, and support in our community.

I have a background in crisis counselling and have experience working with individuals who have been impacted by crime or tragic circumstance (including domestic violence, addictions, and mental health). My passion lies in art and play therapy; learning how to express big emotions and feelings through safely moving our bodies and allowing creativity.

My overall goal is creating a safe space, where you can be heard, understood, and believed. I am here to listen, support, encourage, and provide guidance. Everyone is always the hero of their own stories, and I would like to help you find the strength within yourself.

I believe there is something incredibly meaningful about witnessing children learn, grow, and develop into the people they want to become. My work is guided by empathy, curiosity, mindfulness, and creativity, and I strive to create a safe and supportive space where children and youth feel understood, valued, and empowered.

I am passionate about meeting young people where they are, building authentic therapeutic relationships, and helping them discover the strengths and resilience that already exist within them.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’ve taken the scenic route through life, and my experiences along the way have shaped my belief in the power of connection, curiosity, and supportive relationships. I feel privileged to work with youth and teens, parents and caregivers, and whole families, with a focus on understanding the relationships and patterns that shape what’s happening.

I believe meaningful change happens when we look at the whole system and create space for people to grow both separately and together. I strive to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and supported, while working collaboratively to build on their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

I feel privileged to have spent the past two decades working with children and youth in different capacities.

I value connections with individuals and am dedicated to building understanding beyond the challenging behaviours we may exhibit.

I am passionate in supporting individuals to tap into their own resources, to find the strength in their voice, and to take self-responsibility in living a more full and authentic life.

Hi, I’m Adrienne,

I’ve been working with children and youth in therapeutic environments for nearly ten years and I decided to pursue my MSW so I can expand my scope of practice.

I believe in making space for youth that is supportive and non-judgemental so they can feel safe expressing and exploring their feelings and experiences. I aim to support youth as they build upon their self-esteem, find their resilience, and develop skills to thrive outside of the office space. My goal is to work towards understanding each person’s unique circumstances, needs, and strengths.

When I’m not working, there is a good chance you can find me exploring outside with my family, watching hockey, or playing boardgames.
