Paige
After well over a decade of failing to find a therapist who I connected with, I cannot express how much Samina has changed my life and healing process. She has an incredible ability to allow you to feel safe and heard, while asking the questions that really matter, and aiding you in the work that needs done to allow you to become your best self. Her patience, kindness and empathy is utterly unmatched, and I could not recommend her more. More...

Samina has a warm, and nurturing empathetic quality which makes her an easy person to talk and open up to. She is incredibly knowledgeable and offers a unique perspective everytime we speak. I am so grateful to be able to do the work with her. Thank you! More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love that I am given the privilege of holding sacred space for a persons story, their struggles and triumphs. I get to be part of the journey. The vulnerability and courage that people can show comfortably in a safe space is my why. We need not suffer alone.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The program I recently completed was an intensive, experiential 2 year training that inspired me to continue to build my private practice. We were provided with extensive professional development - when you're given the right tools it gives you the confidence to take the next step. I know that it's not an easy path and I'm willing to take that risk.
Why should our clients choose you?
In counselling, a person should find a therapist that works for them. They have to feel comfortable and safe to begin the process of healing, learning, growing or change. I always recommend that a person interested in my service book a 15 minute free consultation. This way they can decide for themselves if I'm the counsellor for them. It's a very personal process and they would be able to ask questions and learn about me as a therapist.
I do work with adults and youth ages 13 and up
