According to the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” I disagree! Instead, trauma, if left unprocessed/untreated, it has the potential to cause unnecessary and significant mental distress. Throughout our lives, we, the vast majority of us, may experience traumatic events (micro and/or macro). During these trauma(s)—our role is simple—Survival. After the event(s), when we find ourselves on the other side of the trauma(s), again—our role is simple—To Go On With Life.

You just finished another day and you feel yourself riddled with anxiety. You've had anxiety in the past, but now it seems unbearable. It's hard to breath and concentrate, especially when you are wondering when the "next ball is going to drop". Family, friends, and colleagues are talking to you, but all you hear are words because you're already many steps ahead of them in thought. You've heard that you just need to be "more present, less anxious". But you don't know how, or even where to begin. It feels as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Sometimes you know why you're anxious, other times you have no idea.

My name is Samantha and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that we are all on our unique journey and that we have periods where we struggle along the way. Since life does not come with a manual, having someone to talk to regarding the challenges and obstacles you are facing can provide relief and aid. All of us can struggle with anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions. I believe therapy is a wonderful way to learn helpful tools to help cope with these struggles. “Just like the lotus, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world.”- Unknown

My ideal client is a woman who seeks to become her authentic self through the therapeutic process. She may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, or PTSD and feels disconnected from herself. My role is to walk beside her as she navigates these challenges, helping her uncover the strength and resilience she already possesses. I believe therapy is not about fixing what is broken but rather about rediscovering and reclaiming one’s innate wholeness. I strive to provide a space where my clients can explore their innermost thoughts and emotions without judgment, knowing they are fully accepted and supported.
