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!
