She has 13 years of experience in clinical and community settings. Her background includes trauma work with refugees and psychotherapy for university students and community members. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.
Sabrina describes her style as warm, open, and interactive. She leans on clear talk, practical steps, and honest feedback to help clients identify next actions and reduce overwhelm. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused perspectives, and client-centered listening.
Mindfulness and values clarification are used when helpful to make daily life feel more manageable. Sabrina also draws on experience supporting people through immigration-related stress and multicultural concerns.

Approaches and online care that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then take small steps that align with their values. It can help when worry, low mood, or life changes make it hard to act on what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns today and helps people shift those patterns to feel safer and more connected in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and offering empathy so people can explore their goals and find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend a direction. This is a collaborative process and may combine strategies from different approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can serve for shorter check-ins and ongoing support. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage appointments across distances, and keep consistent momentum between sessions.
