Welcome! I bring a warm, compassionate, light-hearted and non-judgmental approach to therapy. I believe that one of our biggest challenges is facing ourselves, and by doing so, we can create a more mindful future. I'm passionate about breaking the stigma around mental health and normalizing a space where mental health is just as valued as physical health.
I have experience working with all ages, with much of my time dedicated to young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I use a holistic approach to tailor all treatment in a way that will best accommodate your needs and goals using a mix of CBT, ACT, MI and mindfulness.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will honor your commitment to discovering your best self by creating a plan that is personalized to your experiences, needs, and goals. I strive to help everyone I work with lead a fulfilling life in a way that best suits them. I look forward to connecting!

Samantha is really wonderful, she listens, understands and asks all the right questions, she helps you really dig in and reflect to get to the root of the issue. She’s very supportive and not judgemental. She’s helped with managing family related stress and postpartum anxiety, after only 3 months I feel better than I’ve felt all year. I
Highly recommend her
