Hi, I’m Sam.

REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST | TRAUMA SPECIALIST

If you’re high-functioning but internally overwhelmed, you’re not alone. I work with ambitious, thoughtful individuals and couples who are navigating pressure — in relationships, careers, family roles, or their own expectations. From the outside, things might look fine. Internally, it feels heavier.

Therapy with me is purposeful. We explore patterns in relationships, attachment, anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, or emotional disconnection — and we do it in a way that feels steady and practical.

Areas of Focus

  • Relationship Challenges

  • Anxiety & Overthinking


  • Depression & Emotional Loneliness

  • Life Transitions

  • Fertility & Postpartum

  • Parenting Stress

  • Self-Esteen & Identity

  • Trauma & Adverse Childhoods

A TAILORED APPROACH

Therapy that feels personal, purposeful, & human.

My approach is shaped by your past experiences and current challenges, while remaining focused on the life you want to build. I provide highly individualized support that blends clinical expertise with practical strategies designed to fit your lifestyle and responsibilities.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

  • PSYCHOEDUCATION


    Knowledge is power. Understanding your behavioural, thought, and emotional patterns brings clarity and validation, and helps guide how you manage and grow through challenges.

  • CLARITY & CHOICE


    Offering clear, practical guidance that helps you feel grounded and capable, turning insight into real-world strategies so you can make intentional decisions & move forward with clarity, confidence & momentum.

  • ATTACHMENT


    Early relationship experiences shape how you relate to yourself & others, often influencing patterns of anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship struggles. Together, we explore these patterns to build awareness, security & healthier connections.

  • CURIOSITY & COMPASSION


    Approaching your experiences with openness & kindness rather than judgment, creating space to gently explore what’s beneath the surface. Through curiosity, we make sense of your patterns; through compassion, we begin to shift them.

  • TRAUMA-INFORMED


    A trauma-informed approach recognizes that your symptoms are responses to what you’ve lived through -not personal flaws. Grounded in the brain–body connection, our work focuses on building safety, nervous system regulation, & resilience.

Virtual Therapy - Online support made easy.

Virtual therapy offers flexibility, accessibility, and comfort — allowing you to connect from the privacy of your own space without the stress of commuting or rearranging your day.

It makes consistent support more manageable for busy professionals, parents, and couples, while still providing the same thoughtful, attuned, and evidence-based care as in-person sessions. For many clients, being in a familiar environment can even help them feel more relaxed and open, allowing the work to go deeper, sooner.

Worth Mentioning

As clients decide who they want to work with for therapy, there’s lots to take into consideration! Here are some additional perks you should know of:

  1. Flexible Availability: I offer flexible session availability throughout the week for all times of day including morning, daytime and late evening slots, making therapy much more accessible to those with busy schedules.

  2. Easy Bookings: My online booking tool allows clients to book in their own sessions for times that work for them. For those with specific time slot requirements or preferences, you can pre-book multiple sessions in advance to ‘save your spot.’ Don’t care to book yourself? Don’t worry - clients can book with me directly following your session, or email to book!

  3. No Need For Nerves: The #1 feedback that I receive from clients is that my easy-going, down-to-earth approach took their nerves away. For those that are nervous about starting therapy, or are worried they won’t be comfortable, you’re in the right place.
