Therapy offers us the opportunity to have the support we need to examine those areas of our lives we find painful, confusing, and challenging. My goal is to help you through any difficulties you are experiencing so that you can have better relationships and feel better about yourself.

Welcome and thank you for taking that brave first step toward healing and inner peace. It's not easy, and I admire your courage. My name is Samina, and I specialize in nurturing young minds and supporting families through challenging times. My therapeutic journey is guided by warmth, compassion, and an unwavering focus on the unique experiences of each individual. In my practice, I've had the privilege of working closely with children facing a variety of struggles, from academic pressures and parental separation to childhood trauma and the complexities of adoption.

My goal in therapy is to cultivate a space where you will feel genuinely heard and understood. I offer a comfortable space marked by empathy and acceptance, in which anyone is welcomed to voice issues and concerns. I enjoy working with youth, adolescents, couples, and families and bring a gentle and empathetic presence to each client session. I understand that you may desire to integrate spirituality into your therapy, and am willing to use my Christian faith, and other spiritual resources to guide you through difficulty and challenge.

Having a foot in two different worlds can be challenging and as a South-Asian Canadian therapist, I am aware of how cultural differences can affect our mental health. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for children, teens, and adults to embark on this journey of healing by using tools from various therapies (i.e. cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapies, and trauma-informed approaches). This journey is about you, and our sessions will be tailored to fit your unique strengths and needs.

Maybe it seems like the slightest things trigger big feelings, worries and reactions. If this sounds anything like you, please know there is hope! Don't wait any longer to reach out for help . I am ready to help you experience relief from distress, find solutions and move towards the life you want to live.

If you are struggling, know that you are not alone. Life can be hard. The idea that its supposed to be easy, or that if we struggle it means we are failing, or not enough, is wrong. These harmful beliefs along with our personal and difficult life experiences, can cause disconnection from ourselves and others. I believe this disconnection is the source of much of our suffering. I am here to support you on your unique healing journey as you rediscover the inherent resilience and capacity for healing and joy that has always been within you.

Contextual forces of family, community, historical events, and trauma shape the brain from conception through the lifespan. Less than optimal circumstances can lead to a compromised nervous system and the formation of maladaptive patterns in the brain and body. As a result, you may suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, poor emotional regulation, difficulty in relationships, addictions, dissociation; and even autoimmune disorders or physical symptoms that cannot be explained medically. If you want to heal stuck patterns, live authentically with more joy and less fear, and have better relationships, I can help!

Excessive worry, overwhelm, inner conflict, and fear can impede our ability to cope. I work with a range of hardships such as painful life events or transitions, general and relational stress, effects of toxic relationships, instability, conflict or betrayal, grief and loss, past or current trauma and parenting issues. My commitment is to hold a safe space to explore your concerns holistically - processing from an emotional, cognitive and somatic lens. It is important to me that you come away from our time with clarity and insight, new self-awareness and the strength and tools needed to help you move forward.

Life can be messy on the inside, even when it looks great from the outside. Often we can feel numb or overwhelmed inside. Alone. Are you seeking to gain insight and clarity around your habits, patterns or relationships? Do you feel your relationships are supporting you or keeping you stuck? How does your life feel to you: vital and juicy or stale and stagnant? How do you want your life to feel? And who were you meant to become? Perhaps you are navigating a significant life transition - exploring who you are and what's next. Often, counting ourselves in is the first step.

At times, life can feel distressing, overwhelming, or seem to push your goals and dreams further away. Whether you are working to overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting or family problems, illness or other concerns, I believe I can support you in creating wellness in your life. I work with children, teens and adults, drawing interventions from cognitive behavioral, narrative, attachment-focused, and play therapy models. To support school-aged children with academic, social or emotional concerns, I also provide parent coaching and psychoeducational assessments so your child can achieve the best possible personal outcomes.

Hi,...Are you looking to reconnect and find love in your relationships as a couple or in your family? What is your story? Are you experiencing a lack of communication, connection, or are you struggling to navigate conflict? These concerns could be led to developing negative interacting patterns, feeling lost, depressed, angry, frustrated, overwhelmed and being unsure of how to move forward. If you need help, I am here to support you. I will help you to reflect, generate hope, feel safe, reconnect and heal through understanding and breaking negative patterns of interactions that could be impacting your life and relationships.

I have over 15 years of experience in supporting children, teens and adults in various community, non-profit and school-based settings. During this time, I supported people from all walks of life while they navigated life's challenges.I define myself as a relationship-based therapist and, hence, have a strong belief in the power of connection between therapist and client.
