Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Samantha!

Welcome to my practice! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in art therapy and equine-assisted therapy. With a focus on holistic healing and personal growth, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate their emotional challenges and cultivate resilience through creative and experiential approaches even through Telehealth.

My approach

In my role as your therapist, I aim to provide attentive listening and empathetic reflection, empowering you to make choices that align with your goals and needs. While there may be moments when I ask challenging questions, please understand that I am committed to meeting you at every step of the therapy journey and creating a safe and supportive environment for your growth and healing.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families seeking support for a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, life transitions, and ADHD. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients of all backgrounds.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel heard and valued. I believe in open and honest communication, collaborative goal-setting, and mutual respect in the therapeutic relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, we all face different challenges. Some of us may feel awkward, out of place, and isolated, while others seem to effortlessly "fit in." Through my own experiences and struggles, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Despite seeking therapy intermittently for support, I found myself longing for genuine connections. Now, as a therapist, my commitment is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore and grow. I strongly believe in the power of authentic connections and am dedicated to offering motivation and guidance for meaningful change. If you are ready to embark on this journey with me, I have ideas and strategies to support you along the way.

My goals for you

My primary goal is to empower clients to discover their inner strengths, develop coping skills, and cultivate resilience to overcome challenges. Through the therapeutic process, clients can gain insight, heal emotional wounds, improve relationships, and achieve personal growth and fulfillment.

My first session with you

During our first session, we will start by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any concerns you may have. We will explore your history, current challenges, and strengths to create a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your preferences and comfort level, we may incorporate art therapy, and activities between sessions to begin your healing process.
