Our Students

​My name is Brina and I am in the process of completing my master’s in counselling psychology from Yorkville University. I received my undergraduate degree in kinesiology from the University of Calgary. My own positive and productive experience with counselling has led me to enter this profession. 
My goal as a counsellor is to lead my sessions with a non-judgmental, empathetic perspective, where I want all of my clients to feel comfortable and supported. I believe in a collaborative process for therapy, where the counsellor and client are both actively involved. 
The first step in this process is what you are currently doing by acknowledging that you would like to start therapy. It does not matter what stage you are currently residing in; the importance is that you are here, wanting to initiate or continue this process. I look forward to starting this journey with you.

I'm Sarah, a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University. I am currently completing my practicum.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in psychology from MacEwan University. I moved around a lot as a kid but settled nearby in St Albert. I enjoy working with anyone and learning their story; I have experience with and enjoy working with our Indigenous populations. Laughter is very healing, and I incorporate it into my day as much as possible. I am a huge advocate for therapy and have attended for years; it has made a significant positive difference in my life that I want others to experience firsthand. My therapeutic approach is authentic, empathic and client-centered, as you are the expert in your life.
