Hi, and thanks for checking out my page. Mostly I work with couples, but I also serve individuals. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (an evidence-based therapy), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychedelic-assisted therapies. In my career I've seen a lot and worked with many different kinds of people; hence, I'm professional and nonjudgmental. I enjoy being a social worker and therapist for all types of humans, but I specialize in serving queer and TGNC couples. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My belief is that being a person is hard, but good relationships are what help us to heal and feel safe.

I'm Samantha, a therapist, sex educator, and chronic illness advocate.
What I'm most passionate about is relationships—with ourselves and with one another. So much of how we're hurt, and how we heal, happens in connection. We're wired to reach for closeness, yet intimacy can feel scary. Our instinct to connect and our instinct to protect often pull in opposite directions, and together we'll gently work through that tension.

Our personal difficulties are often a "Catch 22," -- comfortable, familiar patterns of behavior inadvertently keep us in unhealthy/unsatisfactory circumstances or relationships. As your therapist, I aim to help you understand your current problems in the context of your unique life experiences, allowing you to develop insight into how your difficulties developed while growing in ways that get you 'unstuck.' I do this by facilitating conversations about your interpersonal relationships (past and present); early life experiences; what you are thinking and feeling (or may be preventing yourself from feeling); and how you communicate your thoughts, feelings, and needs with others.
