Meet Samantha

I am a trauma-informed therapist who supports clients in understanding how their experiences have impacted their relationships, self-image, motivation, work ethic, and all other aspects of life. I have been told I am very calm-natured and relatable, which clients appreciate in session. I support people who want to unapologetically set boundaries, discover who they are, stop people-pleasing, improve their self-worth, and manage their symptoms of depression and anxiety. I offer a lot of resources such as books, workbooks, podcasts, etc. to review outside of therapy which helps accelerate the therapy process.

I support people who want to unapologetically set boundaries, discover who they are, stop people-pleasing, and improve their self-worth.
