My Story

My name is Sarah and I am a registered psychologist with Indigenous Psychological Services. I have over a decade of experience supporting individuals through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. I have had the privilege of walking alongside Indigenous youth, adults, and communities on their journeys, and I strive to provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors both lived experience and traditional ways of knowing.

I identity as a Métis woman (she/her), and my own roots inform how I show up in this work. My maternal lineage came from St. Boniface, Treaty 1 territory, to Amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton) where I now live with my family. From this, I carry and appreciation for the intergenerational stories that shape each of our experiences. I have learned the most from being welcomed into Indigenous-focused educational and community settings, traditional healing spaces, and by being invited to participate in land-based teachings from Elders and knowledge keepers.

My approach is grounded in attachment theory, somatic and mindfulness-based Hakomi therapy, and a strong commitment to relational safety. I aim to create a compassionate and respectful space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

Trainings & Certificates: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Indigenous Awareness Training, Polyvagal Theory in Trauma Treatment, Suicide Assessment and Prevention Training (ASSIST), Master of Counselling (MC), Certified Hakomi Therapist, Attachment Therapy Training, Training in Decolonizing & Indigenizing Psychological practice, Somatic Experiencing (level 2), & Ecotherapy certification.
