Meet Samantha

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that wherever you’re starting from, you’re welcome here. I work with adolescents and adults, including women and neurodiverse clients, and I take care to create a space that feels safe and affirming of your unique way of thinking and processing. My approach is casual, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—this is your space, and together we’ll shape it to fit your needs and goals. Therapy with me is about real conversation, curiosity, humor, and a shared commitment to your growth.
