Trauma Therapy & Couples Counselling

Depth-oriented work for those ready to move beyond talk therapy and into lasting healing around complex trauma, intimacy, and attachment.

Hi, I’m Sam.

A Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online and in-person therapy in East Vancouver, BC.

Sam, a queer and non-binary therapist and couples counsellor wearing a tshirt and black jacket standing in front of a river bank in India.

My goal is to create a space where your whole self is welcome, so you can feel safe enough to connect with your body and resolve trauma at the level of the nervous system.

Therapy that goes beyond the surface, rooted in somatics, Internal Family Systems, and affirming care for queer, trans, and neuro-diverse experiences.

Recognition Therapy Space—because “recognition” captures that wordless experience of something clicking into place. Maybe you always knew it, and now you’re getting it at a deeper level —insight becoming embodied.
