If you've been carrying something heavy,
you don't have to carry it alone.
Maybe you're exhausted from holding it together. Maybe the relationship with food feels like a battlefield. Maybe something happened and the world hasn't felt safe since. Whatever brought you here — it's enough. You are enough.
What I Offer
Therapy that meets you
Therapy that meets you
where you actually are.
Not a program to complete. Not a problem to fix. A relationship — grounded, honest, and paced by you.
01
You are heard without judgment
This space holds complexity. You don't need to edit yourself, minimize your experience, or arrive with the right words.
02
The body is part of the work
Somatic approaches recognize that healing isn't only cognitive. We work with what your nervous system knows.
03
The pace is yours
There is no timeline you need to meet. Therapy unfolds as gently or as deeply as you need it to.
04
You remain the authority
My role is to walk alongside you — not to lead, correct, or prescribe. You know yourself best.

I became a therapist because
I know this terrain.
I'm Sarah, a Registered Psychotherapist based in Ottawa. I work with people navigating eating disorders, trauma, and the quiet, persistent ways that suffering reshapes us.
My approach is relational, somatic, and deeply informed by a belief that healing happens in connection — with another person, with your own body, with the parts of yourself you've had to set aside.

These are not diagnoses or categories to fit into. They are invitations — places where we might find the thread.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma reshapes how we experience safety, connection, and ourselves. We work slowly, carefully, and with the greatest respect for your nervous system.
