Is Samantha the right match for you?
I specialize in supporting healthcare professionals and caregivers who are experiencing burnout, anxiety, high stress, and compassion fatigue. I have worked with individuals navigating the emotional toll of demanding work environments, including difficulty switching off, processing workplace experiences, and maintaining a sustainable work-life balance. Since beginning my psychotherapy practice in 2025, I’ve been especially drawn to working with those who are used to caring for others, but are now needing support themselves.
I use therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while integrating tools from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This flexible, evidence-based approach allows us to tailor the work to what fits you best – whether that’s building practical coping strategies, exploring deeper emotional patterns, or developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself. This approach tends to fit best with clients who are open to learning new skills, reflecting on their experiences, and making meaningful, sustainable changes.
I particularly enjoy working with adults in healthcare or high-responsibility roles. At this time, I do not typically work with children or adolescents.
Education
I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University (2025), as well as an undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Psychology and a Certificate in the Foundations of Health Care from Mount Allison University (2022). My clinical work, grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), is supported by three certifications from the Beck Institute and additional training in DBT and ACT. I have also completed training in IFS to support clients who may not connect with CBT. Additionally, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
I approach my work with curiosity and a strong commitment to ongoing learning. I value staying up to date with emerging research and expanding my knowledge base because it continues to deepen and enrich my work as a psychotherapist.
Work Experience
After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked as a medical laboratory assistant for three years, providing care to patients of all ages across multiple hospital departments. In this role, I witnessed firsthand both the demands placed on healthcare workers and the gap between physical and mental health support in my community. This experience played a key role in shaping my path toward psychotherapy.
I completed my clinical practicum during my master’s degree at Solution-Focused Therapy, where I worked with a diverse range of clients and presenting concerns. This experience helped me refine my areas of interest and identify where I could continue to grow as a clinician. It ultimately led me to Thrive, where I value the collaborative environment and continuity of care that reflects a team-based, healthcare-oriented approach.

- Navigation Call (with our Care Concierge): Best if you need help navigating our services. Our team will listen to your goals and match you with the therapist whose expertise best aligns with your specific needs.
- Discovery Call (with a Therapist): A brief, 15-minute introductory chat to meet a specific clinician.Please note: These calls are helpful for a "vibe check," but are limited in scope compared to a full assessment.

If you are ready to book an appointment, you can book directly online or call Thrive Together Mental Wellness Centres at 1-800-765-4992.
For the first appointment, I recommend you book a 90-minute Initial Assessment and Treatment session, either online or in person. The extra time (over a regular 60-minute session) is because the first session is a busy one. In this session, we will establish a relationship, assess the presenting problem, identify goals, and ideally, I will do some teaching about the cognitive model and leave you with something to work on before your second session.
If you would rather book a regular 60 minute session for the first appointment feel free to do so. We will fit as much into the time as we can.
Be sure to choose the appointment option that matches your preference - in person or online. If you want to switch between in-person and online at a later date, email us and we will update your appointment.
Booking Your Appointment
If you are interested in receiving a psychodiagnostic assessment, your first visit needs to be scheduled through our care navigation team by calling 343-882-6766 or emailing info@thrivetogether.ca.
To book your first therapy session, you can also reach out to our care navigation team, or you may be able to book directly online. You can also book directly online if you would like to get started by having a complimentary Navigation Call with our Care Concierge team. Our Care Concierge team is trained to help clarify your goals and match you with the most appropriate services and providers so your care is clear, efficient, and well-aligned from the start.
Account Creation
When booking an appointment online, you will be prompted to create an account through our secure online platform. This account allows you to view availability and schedule appointments online. You will be asked to provide some personal information, such as your age and contact details, to complete your registration.
Scheduling Recommendations
When booking your first appointment, it is recommended that you also schedule several follow-up sessions in advance to help ensure availability at your preferred times. Any appointments that are no longer needed can be cancelled without penalty with at least 24 hours’ notice. If you are unsure how many sessions to book, starting with approximately 10 appointments on a weekly or bi-weekly basis is often a helpful guideline.
Preparing for Your First Session
After you have created your online account, there is paperwork to complete before your first session. You will be asked to read about and consent to our clinic policies. You may also be asked to complete questionnaires with background information about you and your reasons for seeking therapy. Please take the time to complete these forms, it helps ensure that we are a good match before you spend your time, money and energy on a session and it helps us make good use of session time.
