Get to know Samantha

How can I be with myself when the world feels so big? My problem so overwhelming? My despair so bottomless?

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a Gestalt Psychotherapy student, which means that as we work together, we will get curious about your sensations and way of being in the world, by being in the ever-present now. Together, we can explore anything you bring in, and whatever emerges in the space between us. My only hope is to provide a gentle and nonjudgemental space for you to just be yourself, and be there with you in how you are as yourself.

We can work directly with specific issues that may be present for you in your life, like transitions, relationships, anxiety, self esteem, recovery from abuse, chronic pain, or connection with self. Or, we can experiment with however it is you’re showing up that day.

I see clients in Ontario both online and in person.
Mondays: online
Tuesdays: hybrid in Little Italy
Fridays: hybrid by Dupont Station

Please get in touch for a free 30 minute consultation on Zoom. I look forward to truly meeting you.
