Hi! I'm Samantha, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an MSEd in Mental Health Counseling. I completed my clinical training at EPRA, conducting group sessions and vocational counseling with those in recovery from substance use. I have experience working with adults navigating life adjustments, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, identity, and self-esteem.
My approach is person centered and psychodynamic, while using evidence based modalities to help you develop practical tools for navigating daily challenges. I believe therapy should be a comfortable space where you can explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences that feel impactful. We will work at your pace and along the way, I will gently challenge any unhelpful thought or behavior patterns that may no longer be serving you.
You can expect a warm, curious, and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood. During our first session, we will explore what brings you in and what you hope to work on in therapy. We'll explore your current challenges, strengths, background, and patterns you may be noticing in yourself and your relationships. As we continue working together, we'll collaboratively develop practical tools to help you manage symptoms, and gain insight into what's behind the symptoms.
