I can't imagine a more logical, yet empathetic therapist who expertly adapts her learnings to each individual circumstance I throw at her. She is a true master of her craft, and such a genuine, kind person.

Sam has been a fantastic therapist and I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to work on themselves. We've been working together for six months on relationship issues, goal setting and boundaries and the experience has helped me immeasurably. I've learnt so much and I'm truly grateful to Sam for her support, wisdom and honesty.

Samantha is extremely helpful. She really takes the time to dig in and learn what works for YOU. It’s a nice bonus that our faith values align, yet she will never “push” anything on you. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

When I first started therapy with Sam, I was in a very low place in my life. Throughout the time that I spent with her I have grown in ways I didn’t think were possible. Sam is so kind and sincere and really takes the time to understand your thoughts and feelings. She has helped me find confidence in myself to deal with my emotions and life challenges and has given me many tools to cope with those difficult situations. She truly is the best and I’m forever thankful for all her help
