About Me

Hi, I’m Sarah, a registered social worker and trauma therapist who founded Asentriarc. For over eight years, I’ve been honoured to support people through some of their most tender, complex, and transformational life chapters.

My approach is deeply trauma-informed, rooted in nervous system science, relational healing, and a strong belief that everyone deserves to feel safe enough to be themselves. I don’t believe in fixing people; I believe in helping them remember who they are and what hurt them.

Asentriarc is more than a practice; it’s a movement—a matriarchal space for healing, holding, and rising. I created it to challenge outdated clinical models and bring more warmth, attunement, and realness into the world of mental wellness.

My Approach

• Trauma-informed and anti-oppressive

• Guided by nervous system regulation and attachment theory

• Emotionally attuned, relational, and non-judgmental

• Grounded in authenticity, humour, and compassion

• Ideal for folks navigating trauma, identity, burnout, and relationship challenges

Who I Work With

I support adults (20–60+) who are:

• Healing from trauma (including complex and developmental trauma)

• Experiencing anxiety, shame, self-doubt, or burnout

• Navigating identity, self-worth, or relational patterns

• Wanting to feel more grounded, confident, and connected

• Leaders, therapists, creatives, and caregivers looking for their own space to be held
