Hi, my name is Samantha and as a therapist I specialize in trauma recovery. I have a background in Mindfulness-based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University where I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA+ populations however I am excited to work with people of any identity.
I combine trauma-focused approaches such as EMDR therapy and interpersonal psychodynamic therapy with practical client-centered and mindfulness-based interventions, to help you improve your ability to regulate your nervous system while building a caring and compassionate secure attachment between us. I lead with unconditional positive regard for you and your life.
In the first session, we set the container of our therapeutic relationship by discussing what you would like to get out of therapy. I start to get to know you as the unique human being you are, and you get the space to introduce yourself to me and to begin creating a safe and secure relationship with me.
