About

New clients are welcome! I'm Sam, a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario specializing in trauma, grief, and work stress for adults navigating difficult experiences and life transitions. Together, we work to make sense of what you’re experiencing, gently connect with your nervous system and emotions, and support meaningful shifts that feel aligned with who you are.

Biography

Grief and trauma can feel isolating and overwhelming. Whether you're processing a recent loss, carrying old trauma, or experiencing the weight of difficult work, you deserve space to heal. I'm Sam, a Registered Psychotherapist with 6 years of experience supporting adults navigating grief, trauma, and burnout, especially those in helping professions like caseworkers, social workers, and frontline workers. As a former anti-human trafficking caseworker and first-generation Latina, I understand what it means to carry heavy experiences while still showing up for others. I use a trauma-informed, somatic approach that honours your nervous system and your pace. Healing isn't about rushing or performing, it's about feeling truly seen and supported as you make sense of what you've experienced and reconnect with yourself. Whether your grief is fresh or your trauma is from years ago, there's space for you here. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
