Great to meet you!

I'm Samantha, and I graduated from WCSU with an undergrad in psychology and a masters in clinical mental health. I am a mother, wife of a fireman, and foodie. I focus on the adult and adolescent populations who are finding difficulties managing life's stressors. I received a complex trauma certification through PESI and continue to challenges myself in personal areas of growth in trainings to best serve you!

My approach to therapy

My approach is psychodynamic, which in short means that I believe our early relationships impact how we interact in the world today. I learn about you through sharing past and present experiences and help you connect this information to better serve yourself.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a better understanding of themselves and how they interact with the world around them, as well as how to navigate that world with more confidence and personal insights.
