I’m Samantha, and I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most challenging moments. My career has spanned nearly every level of care — from emergency psychiatric services, long-term rehabilitation, and community mental health. I’ve also had the honor of serving as a Captain in the U.S. Army, where I led programs focused on family advocacy and behavioral health. I work with clients of all ages. I have experience working with mood disorders, thought disorders and supporting clients navigating unique or complex conditions like Havana Syndrome and targeted harassment experiences.
My goal is for you to leave feeling seen, supported, and ready to take your next step forward — with a clear sense that you don’t have to do it alone. I utilize various evidence-based practices including CBT, Narrative Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in respect. I meet you exactly where you are. We’ll co-create a plan that helps you move toward healing, clarity, and empowerment. I believe every story matters, and part of our work will include exploring and honoring yours.

I used both Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients. I often times utilize a Narrative to help clients tell the story and to also help create structure and areas to focus on. I often times utilize CPT concepts to identify stuck points when patients struggle to get the results they want and need.
