About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut and have over 13 years experience. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling and Development from Long Island University and have worked in various agencies focusing on a person-centered approach to helping others. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use issues, parental/relationship concerns as well as career challenges.

I believe in positive thinking and will encourage you every step of the way. I treat everyone with respect and compassion and do not believe in putting others down or labeling. I use various techniques including EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and solution based counseling. However, my goal is to work with you and tailor our treatment plan to your specific needs.

I know that you are strong simply because you took the first major step towards making a change. I would be honored to help support you and guide you in this journey.

I look forward to working with you!

Samara is great! She just lets me vent and guides me to previous connections I’ve made. Definitely the right fit!

Samara has been tremendously helpful to me over the past couple of months. She's a fantastic listener, always kind and empathetic, and seems to know when it's the right time to speak up and offer guidance. I can't recommend her enough.

Samara was a wonderful person to talk to, she helped me realize what issues I was having, where they came from, and how to deal with them. She's really compassionate and very easy-going, I was never anxious or on-guard while talking because she made me feel very at ease and thoughtful about my mindset. Very thankful to the advice and techniques she gave me!

Samara was friendly and easy to talk to! She reinforced positive coping skills for what I was struggling with. She was made lots of suggestions for new ways of dealing with stress, anxiety and my anger symptoms.
