Hii.. My name is Samantha and I specialize in treatment for children, adolescents and families. My exposure to varied aspects of Behavioral Health, allows me to better understand appropriate levels of care and interventions necessary for support from intake to discharge. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), which is used with individuals to process past trauma. I have worked intensively with families in the home, school and community setting to help support the identified goals/objectives

It is really important to me to build a relationship with my clients and develop a healthy, therapeutic alliance with them so we are working together to reach their goals. I believe each individual is unique and important and created to be just who they are, and it's important to be inclusive and meet the client where they are at in their walk. My goal is to help them be the healthiest, happiest version of themselves they can be.

When the burdens of life leave us feeling like it is a struggle to breathe as we are slowly sinking in quicksand, it can feel impossible to recognize any other way to live, think, and/or function. As a therapist, I believe that listening is paramount to learning and better understanding an individual so that trust and genuine care remain cornerstones of the therapeutic process. Whether it is intrusive thoughts, external stressors, or anything that causes you to feel unsettled, I want us to collaborate so that you will be empowered to discover your own innate strengths.

NOW Accepting NEW Clients! Hello and welcome! I practice with the belief that YOU are the expert of your own life and the person who knows what is best for you.

Whether you are challenged with anxiety, depression, PTSD, past trauma, or something else, I believe we can work together to reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.

I hold a Masters of Arts degree and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) with over 25 years experience in the social services/mental health field combined. I am also a professional member of the American Counseling Association (ACA). I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, anger management, problems with parenting skills, grief and loss, physical and sexual abuse, sexual identity concerns, the LGBTQ community and a vast range of child and adolescent issues.

Currently taking new clients! I have experience working with clients who are facing stress, anxiety, and work-related concerns. Additionally, I work with clients who are struggling to adapt to changes in their lives. I focus on your strengths, abilities, and skills to help you achieve your individual goals. You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Counseling is a great tool to help you identify where you want to go and learn the skills you need to get there.

My clients are typically seeking to work on long-standing mental health struggles, personal growth/life skills, and support in times of big life changes. Although sometimes we tend to seek treatment to address a specific concern, I work with individuals to help them to uncover other areas of their lives in which they want to make meaningful change. I am intentional in building a therapeutic space full of warmth, humor, and trust as we work through these concerns together.

It is my personal belief that every individual has limitless potential to heal, grow and change. As your therapist, it is my goal to help you unlock your capabilities to achieve wellness, happiness and balance in your life and to provide a welcoming, judgment free space for every individual's self-exploration. I act as a guide for individuals and couples gaining insight into their lives and relationships and help apply that knowledge to inspire your change and growth.

I provide a safe space to openly discuss the struggles of life, to help identify the changes that need to take place for your own personal growth and support you, while overcoming those challenges of change in your life journey.
