Family Therapy in British Columbia

Life can feel overwhelming at times. And all of us can benefit from outside help at some point in our lives. It takes courage to reach out for that help and so welcome to my page. I treat each client differently because we are all different. What is common though in my counselling, is my belief in a collaborative approach. Together we can prioritize issues that you may be facing. I am trained in Family Systems and in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. In my experience, counselling can help us become more whole, more authentic and more happy!

My mission is to guide and support you through life's complexities, fostering meaningful conversations, sharing insights, and developing practical strategies for personal development and well-being. I am committed to walking with you toward a more fulfilling life, ensuring your voice is heard, your experiences validated, and your aspirations met with unwavering support. With diverse experience in residential care for youth and crisis intervention in hospital settings, I bring a comprehensive understanding and skills to address mental health issues, addictions, trauma, and family challenges.

Samantha works with a variety of clients including individuals who feel stuck or overwhelmed in their lives. She helps them develop healthier ways of experiencing and coping with emotions. The clients she serves often have difficulties in effectively setting boundaries and communicating in their relationships. Many have experienced past childhood neglect/abuse or family of origin issues. They often want to explore and resolve their past issues in order to move forward in their lives. Samantha enjoys working with individuals that have a desire to increase their awareness and who want to explore their unconscious selves.

Welcome - thank you for being here with me. I am passionate about honouring voice, story, and lived experiences in the ways that they feel most heard and safely witnessed. As a counsellor, my goal is to walk alongside you to co-create an empowering space of compassion, empathy, and relational understanding that meets you where you're at as you navigate life. I am anchored in intersectional, relational, narrative, culturally-responsive and anti-oppressive approaches in therapeutic work. I am grateful to work with communities and people from all walks of life and backgrounds towards personal and collective healing & liberation.

My goal is to journey with my clients while they process the past, find acceptance, define new goals, and bolster self-confidence. I specialize in providing therapeutic treatments to clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, self-harm, and emotion dysregulation. Additionally, I address concerns relating to trauma, gender fluidity, and relationship challenges. Given the right tools, I believe every person can create a life filled with meaning and happiness.

I help adults make sense of what triggers their own reactivity with their kids, where that came from, how it plays out in their relationships and how to tame those triggers to break the cycle of authoritarian and shame based parenting. It is hard work making those changes but I truly believe it’s never too late to repair those relationships. Using EMDR, I help clients process past childhood memories that hold those negative reactions, so that we can heal and parent from a more empathetic and respectful place. I truly believe that the hardest part of parenting is undoing the hardwiring we experienced during our own childhood.

I am a Master Therapeutic Counsellor. My practice welcomes adults ages 18 years and older. I can help with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting, career/work issues, family of origin issues, and really any desire for change. Psychotherapy is about becoming much more friendly towards oneself. By opening up to ourselves, we naturally open up to the joy of others and the possibilities of life itself. My practice is based upon a psycho-spiritual understanding of the self and informed by the new discoveries of neuroscience which prove transformation is possible by harnessing the power of neuroplasticity.

Life is a journey, and sometimes life's path offers rough terrain. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk with us, and support us through life's challenges. As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor I strive to help clients gain awareness into their personal struggles, and ultimately find healing in such areas. I aim to offer a safe, warm and welcoming environment where clients can feel supported, validated and ultimately find hope.

My clients come longing for stress relief, work and life growth, more personal connection, and better relationship health. They seek a better sense of self and self-care, or they're anxious about work, life moves, or family juggling. Many experience significant grief and trauma. Parents want support in helping their children to grow holistically with a sense of self agency, cultural fluidity, meaningful life insights, and innovative/creative energy. Some come due to conflicted family breakups and needing support with loving, developmental missing pieces and overcoming parental neglect or bypassing. Some seek life inspiration.

It is my honour to deeply listen and support your personal journey through whatever life circumstances bring you to counselling.

I value your individual experience, and that you are the expert in your own life.

Overwhelm, stress, loss and change in our personal and professional lives; at work, at home, at play and in our relationships, is both common and very difficult to manage alone.

My name is Azi and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). I have been a counsellor for the past 9 years and have been in the mental health field for more than 15 years. I am very passionate about what I do and a I’m strong believer of the healing power of therapy. I am a wounded healer and a trauma survivor. I have healed myself and Im still on my healing journey.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a stranger for help and support. I believe we all develop strategies for coping with pain and discomfort that often serve well in the moment but not in the long term. Or, we become overwhelmed and unable to cope with the difficult demands and circumstances life throws our way. Counselling is ultimately a conversation in a safe, non-judgmental space to help you process, validate, heal, reframe, and develop strategies to experience life in a new and more meaningful way. I am an Internal Family Systems therapist with training in EMDR.
