Hi, I’m Samantha—I'm really glad you’re here.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and even finding the right therapist can take courage. I strive to create a space that feels comfortable, welcoming, and genuinely supportive—something you can look forward to each week, not dread. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out here. You get to show up exactly as you are.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and down-to-earth. I work alongside my clients to better understand what’s going on beneath the surface, while building insight, confidence, and healthier ways of coping.
I believe meaningful change happens when you feel safe, heard, and understood. I help teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and relationship stress in a supportive, manageable way. Using trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, somatic, and solution-focused approaches, we build real-life tools while exploring mind-body connections to create lasting change.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel scary, but it can also open the door to growth and healing. You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges. If this feels like a place you could start, I’d be glad to walk alongside you on your journey!
