About Samantha
Choosing to begin or resume counseling can seem overwhelming or uncertain at first, but it is a powerful step toward greater self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.
As your counselor, I would be honored to join you on your journey of discovering who you are, where you are, and where you can go. I work with individuals navigating behavioral addictions such as gambling, shopping, and internet use, as well as those managing anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, or life on the autism spectrum.
My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that healing begins by focusing on the present moment and understanding oneself holistically. You are the expert and navigator of your own life—I’m here to walk beside you with empathy, curiosity, and support.
Whether you’re seeking help for a behavioral addiction or simply looking to better understand yourself, I strive to offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where meaningful growth can take place.
