About

Hello there!

My name is Samantha and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I've been working with individuals and families for the last 8 years. I am a client-centered therapist that uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help others. That just means that I want clients to feel comfortable and supported. I’m non-judgemental, genuine, and honest when listening to clients and sharing ideas on how to help them feel better. In order to help clients feel better I tend to focus on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are natural but they can also make it difficult for us to feel good, be successful, and have good relationships. I like to use exercises and techniques that help people increase their positive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and decrease the negative ones. It usually doesn’t happen right away and will take some work on your part, but I am here to help you get through this difficult experience one step at a time. If something that I am doing along the way isn’t working for you, you can always let me know and we will shift gears and try something new. I will often ask you for feedback on what you feel is and isn’t working because it’s important that you’re getting the support you need.

I am looking forward to working with you!
