My name is Samuel! I am a therapist and previous medical doctor who is passionate about the messy and beautiful parts of being human. I believe that we live in a world that constantly (and often effectively) tries to tell us who and what we should be, which often leads us to trying to fit in. This can create a considerable amount of conflict, and possibly trauma, inside of us that not only leads to mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression but can also take us further from the belonging and connection that we desperately crave. As your therapist, I hope to provide a safe non-judgmental space for you to think and feel your way through the messiness of your humanity. I look forward to our journey together!

I am a fellow human being on a journey of learning, growing, and healing. I have been supporting beautiful, messy, and imperfect people through the ups and downs of life for over a decade. My goal is to provide you with an experience of feeling seen, heard, and connected to a mental health professional who can provide a safe non-judgmental space. I feel that we are all whole (even if we feel broken) and it is through this safe therapeutic relationship we can open universes of possibilities like making sense of your experiences together, connecting with yourself and others with self-compassion, and learning research-based techniques. I believe that one of the greatest gifts I can give another human is my attention in an environment of openness, curiosity, and empathy. So, I aim to listen carefully, kindly, and genuinely—with an open heart and an open mind.

I believe in a person-centred, nonjudgmental approach to counselling, where no client struggle is seen as insignificant. I am compassionate and empathetic, and strive to ensure a safe space for clients to work through their concerns. I also understand the importance of honouring individual differences and celebrating people’s stories, while being considerate of the varied cultural and social contexts within which they exist.

I provide clients with the necessary technical tools to address issues and help achieve their goals. I know that each individual comes with their unique experiences and, as such, different people will require different things from therapy. Accordingly, I believe in having open and honest communication about my clients’ needs and work hard to foster a strong therapeutic relationship.

I provide counselling to both youth and adults experiencing a plethora of concerns, including those related to relationship troubles, self esteem, anxiety, self-care and life transitions, among others. I believe in an evidence-based approach to counselling that is largely tied to the client’s needs. To ensure that I am the right fit for my clients’ needs, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation in order to help us get to know each other before a session.

I’m Cristina and I believe that we all have the innate ability to live full, engaged, and vibrant lives. There is nothing wrong with having problems. Working with adversity can add depth and meaning to our lives and sometimes our thoughts, actions, and situations can hinder our ability to flourish. My aim when working with you is to create a safe, relaxed, and warm environment where you feel that change is possible. From there, we can work together to create that change.
