Sara utilizes evidence-based techniques including strategies aimed at changing the way you interpret events and targeting the behaviours that no longer work for you. She will help you develop adaptive coping skills such as strategies to manage your feelings, increase your ability to tolerate difficult situations and emotions, learn to be an effective communicator and develop the ability to observe yourself and others without judgement. When implemented these strategies can greatly improve your quality of life. She offers consultations in both English and French.
