Great to meet you!

Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, or the pressure to have everything figured out? Maybe you are navigating questions about identity, struggling to set boundaries, or trying to understand patterns that keep showing up in your relationships. I’m Samantha an LCSW who provides affirming, virtual therapy for adults and couples throughout New York. I especially enjoy working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, Latinx, neurodivergent, and clients who want a therapist who understands the impact of identity, culture, and systems on emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. Together, we may work on reducing anxiety, building self-trust, improving communication, navigating life transitions, strengthening relationships, and creating boundaries that feel sustainable.

What you can expect from me

I will not tell you who you should be; I will help you better understand yourself and make choices that align with your values. Together we will create a plan that helps you to feel empowered and offers you a collaborative environment where you are the expert of your own life. We will utilize different tools and strategies that will help you to become your best self and creates space for ALL of who you are.

I offer telehealth appointments most weekdays from 6:45–9 p.m. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can discuss what you are looking for and see whether we may be a good fit. Call or email to get started.
