Hi there, I'm Samantha!

I support young people and their families through the emotional ups and downs of growing up. Whether you're navigating anxiety, mood challenges, school stress, behavioral concerns, or the emotional impact of medical conditions, I provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your family's needs.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and young adults facing anxiety, depression, sleep issues, school stress, or adjusting to life changes. I also specialize in supporting families navigating chronic medical conditions like diabetes, cystic fibrosis, or lupus. I tailor each treatment plan to your child and family.

My approach

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral interventions, and motivational interviewing. I view concerns through a developmental lens, recognizing needs change as children grow. I focus on building trust and creating a safe space for youth to express themselves.
