About me
Hi, I'm Samantha.
I show up every day passionate about the work that I do, even after 10+ years of clinical social work. I thrive working with adults and young adults, and I have a special place in my heart working with moms and college students. . I have so much passion for working with trauma survivors because I am one myself.
Once I experienced the power of therapy in college, I knew Ineeded to pay that forward. I believe when therapists have endured traumaticexperiences of their own, it creates a level of understanding and empathy thatcannot be learned in a classroom or across from one of their clients.Empowering those who have felt powerless to realize and confidently use theirpower to live the life they love is my mission. I am amazed at the strength ofthe clients that I have worked with over the years and they inspire me everyday. I hope you decide to take this step for yourself. You deserve to feel freefrom the past, and enjoy each day to the fullest!
