I’m here to listen, if you’re ready to talk. Even if you’re not quite ready to talk about everything, I’m here to stand beside you while we get it figured out. My approach is about meeting you where you are, hearing your story, and working together to find tools that are specifically tailored to work for you. Above all, I am here to provide warmth, support, empathy, and sometimes (when it’s needed) a gentle kick in the pants to get you to being the most awesome self you can be.

Life can be hard and just "raggedy" at times. I know and I get it. For some, reaching out for help is the last thing you may want to do but I would love to walk with you on your journey to healing. Would you believe me if I told you that the answers you are seeking are already within you? I will merely be your guide and safe place to allow you to discover these answers. There is so much more in store for you versus the current narrative you have been rehearsing to yourself.

In addition to these, the tools I use in each session are likely to come from systems theory, ACT, Narrative, Solution-Focused and Structural Family Therapy.
I’m Samantha, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. My areas of passion are grief and loss, interpersonal conflict, divorce, and coparenting adjustment. These dark, shadowy areas of life that touch many, if not all, of us sometimes create “big T” or “little t” traumas in the process. It can feel isolating, lonely, and scary to walk along those paths in the dark. My goal is to provide some company—and some light—so no one has to walk those paths alone. If you’re willing to put your trust in me, we can get to the other side of that darkness together.

I use a range of approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and emotionally focused therapy or the Gottman method for couples.

My method is not one-size-fits-all and will be tailored to each individual’s unique story, however I do pull techniques from a Narrative Therapy perspective highlighting externalizing and evolving your narrative.
Families that are experiencing challenges related to life transitions such as family blending, disagreements on how to handle certain matters, a member having a newly diagnosed mental health problem, and sibling fighting are all struggles that I can help guide you through. I also have experience with mothers dealing with transitioning to motherhood for the first, second, third or more time(s) experiencing mental and emotional changes. We will partner together in achieving goals such as learning healthy coping mechanisms during life transitions and reframing thought perspectives to help with behavioral and emotional growth.

Narrative Therapists
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds—perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
