Hello! My name is Stephanie - a dedicated Registered Social Worker and advocate. I specialize in addressing the distinct challenges faced by women, the LGBTQ2S+ community, and issues related to mental health and addiction. My expertise includes examining the intricacies of sex and gender, family dynamics, and self- esteem. I approach my work with a deep sense of compassion and empathy, ensuring that each individual feels understood and supported in their journey.

With eight years of professional experience, I have developed a keen interest in the unique experiences of correctional staff, first responders and their families. My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, strengths-based framework that emphasizes feminist principles, empowerment, and resilience. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a solutions-focused framework while fostering a collaborative environment that encourages clients to take an active role in their healing and personal growth. This collaborative atmosphere not only enhances the therapeutic experience but also instills a sense of ownership and responsibility in clients, enabling them to explore their thoughts and behaviors in a constructive manner. By working together, we can uncover patterns and develop strategies that lead to meaningful change, ultimately fostering resilience and a deeper understanding of oneself. I provide an environment that is safe and free from judgment, which encourages personal development and transformation.

Starting a new journey can often feel daunting, which is why I invite you to take advantage of a free 15-minute phone consultation. This session will allow us to explore your specific needs and determine how I can best support you in achieving meaningful transformation and personal growth. Together, we can create a tailored approach that empowers you to move forward with confidence. I look forward to connecting with you!

Sabrina works in Burlington on Sundays and in Milton on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s.

My practice services individuals, youth, couples and groups.

Do you find yourself struggling to cope with life challenges and transitions, whether this be in work, school, home life or within various relationships? For many this leads to feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of how to appropriately manage. Avoiding emotional needs can perpetuate further distress leading to unmanaged anxiety, depression, grief, and resentment. This also has a negative impact on physical wellbeing and overall life satisfaction.

Within a safe judgement free environment, clients are provided opportunity to express and process their emotions. Through a person-centered lens, I work alongside clients in developing individual plans of action to help them better cope and reach identified goals. Sessions will be available through in-person and virtual appointments to suite your schedule needs.

It is my passion to help others live their best life. This will look different for each individual person but may start by identifying concerns, learning healthier coping mechanisms, and grounding skills, challenging negative thought patterns, building healthier boundaries and routines.

Contact Inner Oak for a free consultation today, I look forward to building a strong working relationship with you.

Sometimes we can feel like we are not at the right place in our lives or in our minds, and that our experiences define us. A spiralling effect that can often lead you to sit in a rut and while serves you for the moment-is not ideal. In these times, it can be difficult to imagine talking about it will provide any relief.

I utilize person-centred, holistic and body-centred approaches throughout the therapeutic process, catered to not only your individual needs, but to the needs of each individual session. It is my goal to help create an atmosphere with you that allows you to freely share your experiences and emotions, identify what your needs and expectations are, and work with you to develop archivable goals for what you want your therapeutic journey to look like.

I strive to create a judgement free space where you do not have to feel like you have to leave your worries at the door. I welcome them and you into a safe and comfortable environment, where our therapeutic relationship continuously develops as we work collaboratively to meet your therapeutic goals. I also believe sometimes we just need a chat, and my door is always open for that as well. The space is yours to fill.
