Samantha is a skilled and compassionate Registered Social Worker with over sixteen years of experience supporting individuals and families across the social service and mental health sectors. Her practice is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep belief in people’s ability to heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.

Samantha has worked with a wide range of communities, including individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, grief, displacement, and migration stressors. She brings a grounded, culturally informed lens to her work—one shaped by years of walking alongside clients facing systemic barriers, identity transitions, and intergenerational struggles. Her approach is trauma-aware and strength-based, and she is particularly attuned to the needs of women and caregivers who are often managing multiple, unseen burdens.

Drawing on therapeutic tools such as cognitive-behavioural strategies, solution-focused dialogue, and psychoeducation, Samantha helps clients reconnect with their values, build coping strategies, and restore a sense of clarity and self-trust. She sees therapy as both a space for deep reflection and a tool for reclaiming calm, choice, and personal agency.

Samantha offers virtual therapy across Ontario and other Canadian provinces, where permitted.
