Meet your Counsellor

Since the beginning of her professional studies, there was one connecting factor for Samantha through it all: being a supportive force for others.

Let's connect

Values & Beliefs

Healing happens in connection when we feel truly seen, safe, and supported. Here are the core values and beliefs that guide my practice and shape how we will work together:

  • You Are the Expert: I respect your personal autonomy and your right to choose and direct your care is vitally important. My aim is to follow your lead as you show up for yourself and this journey. I see you as a whole person with lived experience that informs who you are and how you operate through the world.

  • Flattening the Hierarchy: Therapy should be a collaborative partnership. I actively work to reduce traditional power dynamics to create a space where your innate wisdom is central and you leave sessions feeling empowered.

  • Systemic Approach: I look at the bigger picture, exploring how your environment, relationships, community, and the systems you live in impact your well-being.

  • Radical Inclusion & Humility: I approach our work with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and non-judgment. Everyone is welcome exactly as they are.

  • Walking the Walk: I believe in the power of the therapeutic process and believe that therapists should go to therapy!

Modalities

I use a range of therapeutic modalities, but I am best described as a person-centred, emotion-focused, and parts work counsellor, operating from a trauma-informed lens.

Ultimately, we work together to see what approach may be the best for you individually and tailor it to your needs! Flexibility and curiosity are always prioritized, and if something isn’t working, we can set it aside and try something new.
