Welcome! I'm Samantha and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. I primarily work with women, young adults, and professionals experiencing a range of symptoms and life stressors related to anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions (college, marriage, change in relationship status, self-esteem, parenting, a new job, moving, etc.)
My approach to counseling is a combination of Holistic therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We'll use CBT to address how old thinking patterns and habits contribute to feeling stuck and at times powerless in your unique life journey. I also use a Holistic approach to therapy which focuses on the whole self (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual and Communal ).
In our first few sessions, you can expect to feel empowered to face whatever challenges you might be facing. My goal is for you to feel supported, accepted and understood. You may have heard the saying, "Stretched but not Broken". There will be times where I'll stretch you to challenge yourself, thoughts and behaviors, but I will never break you. By having a better understanding of self and your capacity for growth and healing, you will be able to face whatever comes your way from a new lens.
