Welcome! I’m Samantha, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in cancer support, chronic illness, and terminal illness. I help individuals, couples, and families navigate the emotional impact of diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and loss. Whether you’re coping with grief, caregiving stress, or fertility and women’s health concerns, I offer a compassionate, grounded space to process your experience, find strength, and move toward healing at your own pace.
With a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy from Northwestern University, my work blends evidence-based practice with a relational, conversational approach. I specialize in supporting those affected by cancer, chronic and terminal illness, caregiver burnout, grief, and fertility challenges with empathy and clinical expertise.
My therapy style is warm, inclusive, and collaborative, creating space for honesty, resilience, and emotional healing. I believe therapy should feel human and empowering—not clinical or “stuffy.” Together, we’ll explore what it means to live fully and meaningfully through life’s hardest moments.
