Samantha is especially passionate about working across the lifespan with cultural sensitivity, integrating multicultural counseling to honor each client’s unique identity and life experiences. She incorporates play-based interventions and creative arts in therapy to help clients—particularly children and adolescents—express themselves in ways that go beyond words.

Her expertise includes supporting clients with anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, as well as addressing ADHD, grief, gender identity exploration, and other complex challenges. Samantha is skilled in working with individuals from adoption or foster care backgrounds, those on the autism spectrum, and people with developmental disabilities. She often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness techniques, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy into her sessions, and she offers psychological testing as part of her comprehensive care. Outside of her clinical work, Samantha finds balance in spending time outdoors, whether hiking, gardening, or walking along the beach. She enjoys expressing herself through painting and other creative activities, and she loves traveling to experience new cultures and cuisines. These passions keep her grounded and help her approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and an open mind.
