Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Samantha and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults seeking support through trauma recovery, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationships, and major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I believe healing happens through a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and compassion. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, meaning we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

I integrate evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and other trauma-informed techniques to help you process difficult experiences and develop healthier ways of coping.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy, personal background, and goals for our time together.
