about me

i, sarah anne (they/them), am a queer, neurodivergent settler of english and scottish descent residing on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (tsleil-waututh) nations, colonially known as vancouver, bc.

i’m a registered clinical counsellor (rcc) and use a creative blend of internal family systems (parts work) and somatic therapies to support individuals, couples, and multi-partner relationships to connect to themselves and others with curiosity, compassion, and clarity.

my approach to sexuality is non-pathologizing and pleasure-centered. many of my clients are queer, non-monogamous, neurodiverse, or kinky, and i aim to provide an inclusive space for anyone who wants to deepen their relationship with self, others, and spirit. 

spiritually, i hold a non-dual and animate worldview, which supports me to approach therapy from a holistic perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of body and environment.

i’m delighted to be offering ketamine-assisted-therapy in collaboration with field trip health and am currently completing the requirements to be an approved psilocibin-assisted-therapy provider with therapsil.

outside of work, you’ll find me playing with clay, drinking tea mindfully, wandering in the woods, taking a dance class, and reading books.

we’ll break down fundamental consent skills, making them accessible to all, yet nuanced enough to be applicable to the complexity of real human interaction.

expect to explore what it’s like to give and receive a “no”, what to do when you’re feeling unsure, and how to become more effective at asking for what you want.

i’m a certified creating consent culture facilitator and you can learn more about the workshop and accompanying book at creatingconsentculture.com
