Sometimes healing needs to happen first ( EMDR, Expressive arts, Somatic (Rolfing) CBT, Yoga).
I WELCOME ALL OF YOU who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

Specifically for trauma, Sara uses EMDR, a science-based approach that allows for the reprocessing and resolution of past pain.
Often described as having a calm presence, Sara Jungen is a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about supporting individuals to live in the present, unburdened by the past. Sara completed her B.A. (honours) in Psychology at the University of Calgary, and after some time doing therapeutic work both locally and internationally, it became clear that in order to be of most benefit to others, she needed to further her training and delve deeper into her own process.

My training includes psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused, trauma-informed, expressive arts, dialectical behavioural therapies, systemic models, EMDR and brain-spotting.
Many things in our lives are on a continuum, including the intensity of the problem, resilience, resourcefulness, and healing. Sometimes we need more guidance and help than other times, and sometimes we feel that we can manage on our own. The striving to heal or cope at our best may be subtle or more apparent in our lives, which helps to realize that change is needed, contemplate it, and act. My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, eclectic, and trauma-informed.

I use a blend of therapies such as body-mind centering, hakomi, parts work, and EMDR.
Hi, I'm Alex! I'm experienced in helping other adults who feel stuck in life. Stuckness might stem from issues within the family or cultural environment, a loss of purpose, significant life transitions, chronic stress, difficulties feeling secure in self, creating or grieving meaningful relationships, or recurring intense emotions/sensations such as anxiety, anger, or sadness (that can feel debilitating or confusing). I also often work with folks who've tried cognitive talk therapies before and want a different approach, those who've been told they're "very aware" but don't know what to do with that, and fellow creatives & helpers.

I engage in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, solution-focused, strength-based, compassion-focused, person-centred, trauma-focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy.
As a therapist, I believe that providing clients with a nonjudgmental, supportive, and safe environment encourages self-awareness, self-exploration, and self-compassion while working together as a team when exploring their life challenges. As a bicultural woman, mother, and wife, I find managing too many roles and responsibilities challenging, which can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. I can assist you in navigating these challenges while remaining focused and engaged, working towards and achieving your life goals and authentic self.
