THE BASICS
What is your name/nicknames?
My name is Sarah, and unfortunately I don’t have a cool nickname (so jealous of those who do!) The closest thing I have is; “it’s Sarah with an H”
What do you do at Shift?
I am a therapist at Shift, and I love helping people navigate through difficult emotions and rough patches in their lives.
What are your academic credentials?
I have an Honours B.A. with a specialization in Psychology, and an M.A. in counselling psychology. A million years ago I completed a diploma in nursing. (Yay, school!)
Do you have any pets?
I have the sweetest little lady named Lotus, a cross between a Boston terrier and a cocker spaniel (we think). She’s a firecracker even though she’s pushing 12 years old!
Specialty Populations/Issues:
She thoroughly enjoys helping individuals navigate and cope with emotional and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, and diagnosed mental health disorders.
THE RANDOM
What is your favourite food?
Bread. Anything with bread.
What is a skill you are working on currently?
I’m working on being okay with being uncomfortable when things don’t go smoothly. I like to plan things out, and it’s not always easy to deal when things go sideways!
What do you do in your spare time?
I like to spend time with my family, watch movies, or do something artsy/crafty.
What is your dream car?
A black Lambo (black cars look better in the shade)
What is your go-to for a good laugh?
I love a good meme, and the “Nailed It!” series on Netflix.
