M.Ed, RCC

Sabina is a Registered Clinical Counsellor holding a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from UBC. Sabina’s focus in therapy is to create a space where students feel safe, validated, and accepted; where students feel comfortable to share and explore all the parts of their identities, as well as the internal and external barriers preventing them from reaching their goals. Sabina believes that people get hurt and healed in relationships with others, and her approach includes helping students develop a sense of connection and belonging within themselves and with others. Sabina’s counselling style integrates person-centered and strengths-based approaches.
