More about Samantha

- LPC, LMHC
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with EMDR to support clients in creating meaningful and lasting change. I am deeply passionate about my work and value the opportunity to help clients see the broader patterns in their lives. As clients learn to understand themselves more fully and trust their own inner wisdom, they often experience increased confidence, healthier decision-making, greater self-acceptance, and a deeper sense of contentment. I believe these are essential ingredients for living a balanced and fulfilling life.
I have extensive experience working with clients who have experienced trauma, and I am certified in EMDR. I also work with individuals experiencing a range of anxiety disorders, helping them to develop healthier thought patterns and cultivate greater awareness of the connection between body and mind.
I invite you to explore the journey of yourself and allow me to be in the passenger seat with you, as you learn how to drive through this wonderful life that everyone should have the opportunity to realize.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
