Canadian Certified Counsellor

Hi, I'm Samantha.

I am a Certified Clinical Counsellor with a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Spirituality with a specialization in Art Therapy. Aiding neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ folks in communicating, connecting and self actualizing is my passion.

I often support folks with:

​​

• Gender/identity exploration

• Non verbal support and creative self expression

• Self-esteem issues and perfectionism

• Emotional regulation including anger management, anxiety and depression

• Improving executive function (motivation, task initiation, time management)

• Masking and authentic connection

• Life path and values exploration

• Professional development

My main approach is through art therapy, which is a useful tool for self expression, exploration and communication. It can help us to interpret, express and resolve emotions and thoughts. Collaborative art can also be a fun way to build connections between partners or family members.

I maintain a safe and nonjudgemental space in which clients can build connections, explore their values/identities, and deconstruct conflict. My practice is solution focused, humanistic, and is informed by systems theory and psychodynamic theory.

​

In my personal life, I am an artist, a D&D dungeon master, an animal lover and a gamer. I often find myself gamifying daily tasks and searching for the perfect metaphor to describe my experience.

I look forward to accompanying you on your journey!
