Great to meet you!

I'm Samantha, and I graduated from WCSU with an undergrad in psychology and a masters in clinical mental health. I am a mother, wife of a fireman, and foodie. I focus on the adult and adolescent populations who are finding difficulties managing life's stressors. I received a complex trauma certification through PESI and continue to challenges myself in personal areas of growth in trainings to best serve you!

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is psychodynamic, which in short means that I believe our early relationships impact how we interact in the world today. I learn about you through sharing past and present experiences and help you connect this information to better serve yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a better understanding of themselves and how they interact with the world around them, as well as how to navigate that world with more confidence and personal insights.
