Welcome! I’m Sara.

Hi, I’m Sara (she/her), the owner and Clinical Director of Connected Roots Therapy. I began my private practice in 2019 while supporting children, youth, and families in child welfare, and I’m trained in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and Somatic Experiencing, trauma-informed approaches that help people feel safe and connected.

Since my Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis, I’ve brought both professional expertise and lived experience to supporting children, adults, and caregivers navigating diabetes. I also love volunteering at Diabetes Canada D-camps each summer as one of the camp Social Workers.

Today, Connected Roots is a full-time practice in Ottawa, and I’m proud to work alongside a growing team of skilled therapists, creating a welcoming, supportive space for children, teens, adults, and families seeking compassionate mental health care.
