About me
I am licensed in Ohio with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in a variety of areas, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress management, and trauma. I have a passion for helping individuals navigate their emotions and life experiences to achieve their personal goals. My approach is personalized and evidence-based, and I utilize techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to help clients make positive changes in their lives. I believe in a collaborative and non-judgmental approach to therapy and am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for all clients. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I have had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She listens to my feelings and gives great advice and tools to use to help me cope with my anxiety. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. I always feel so much better about things after each session. I would highly recommend her.

I am so grateful that I have found Sam. I’m dealing with the aftermaths of trauma/infidelity, and at a point in my life where everything seemed so hopeless. Working with Sam has helped me start to regain a sense of control and challenge faulty thinking/unhealthy patterns. Furthermore, she is one of the most kindest, empathetic therapists I’ve had and really seems to understand the problem and what can be done to help her clients. I have also recommended her to my friend because I feel that trust in her abilities.
