As an intern-level therapist currently pursuing my master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Yorkville, my journey began in September 2022 after completing my bachelor's degree in Science from the University of Calgary. My academic background has instilled in me a rigorous analytical approach, which I actively integrate into my therapeutic work.

My passion lies in aiding immigrants, teenagers, and young adults adapting to new environments, drawn from real-world experience and a deep empathetic nature.

In my practice, I employ a diverse range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. This eclectic approach allows me to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client, empowering them to explore their narratives, uncover strengths, and navigate emotional landscapes with resilience.

With dedication to holistic healing and unwavering compassion, I embark on my journey as a counselor, aiming to be welcoming and supportive of every individual's needs.

Hello! I’m Sarah, and I am an intern level therapist. I am a PhD student studying Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). I graduated in 2019 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Sociology, and will be earning my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at the end of 2023. Once my studies are complete, I hope to become a licensed counselor and use my clinical and research skills to administer and develop quality, accessible mental healthcare.  

The beginning of my studies was research intensive, and I have held a position as a researcher within the UTEP Latino Alcohol Health Disparities Research and Training Center for nearly five years. I’ve broadened my experience in studying alcohol and addiction to developing an extensive knowledge of evidence-based practices and interventions to help my future clients with a wide array of mental health issues and therapeutic goals. This prepared me to effectively treat clients at my university’s Counseling and Psychological Services Center.  

Education in both Clinical and Health Psychology has taught me to value treatment as well as prevention. I believe therapy is applicable to more than just “fixing” issues. It can (and ought to) be utilized to help accomplish all sorts of goals to improve and maintain one’s quality of life. As someone who has been on both sides of the therapy couch, I look forward to creating safe, productive alliances with all my clients moving forward!
