i'm samantha, a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) based in ottawa, ontario, with a background in holistic nutrition and fitness. i work with individuals, couples and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, self-worth, and relationship challenges. i also support youth, teens, emerging adults and adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to manage their thoughts and emotions.
my approach is warm, collaborative and direct. i draw from CBT, DBT-informed, ACT and attachment-based approaches to help clients understand what is driving their patterns and how to shift them in real time.
i also integrate my background in holistic nutrition and fitness to take a mind-body approach, looking at how the nervous system impacts sleep, movement and lifestyle, helping clients also feel better in their day-to-day.
as a mom, i understand how overwhelming it can feel to try to balance everything while still showing up for everyone else. i want to help you learn how to show up for yourself throughout the chaos.
