About Samia
Ultimately, I want to help clients move beyond simply coping and build lives that feel meaningful and intentional. This may involve developing healthier coping strategies, processing difficult experiences safely, strengthening self-worth, improving relationships, and regaining a sense of control. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based practices, including CBT and CPT. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change, and strive to help clients feel empowered, understood, and more connected to themselves.
I support individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. My compassionate, client-centred approach integrates CBT, CPT, EMDR, and parts-based psychoeducation to support healing, emotional regulation, self-understanding, and healthier coping.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate things alone. Whether you’re carrying difficult experiences or feeling emotionally overwhelmed, you are welcome here. You don’t need to have all the answers, we can begin wherever you are.
