Expertise

Samantha is a licensed clinical social worker with over 8 years of experience practicing psychotherapy. It brings me great joy and fulfillment to witness and support individuals as they navigate through their healing journeys.
As a therapist, I specialize in treating Attachment Trauma, recognizing the profound impact it can have on an individual's well-being and relationships. I firmly believe in the power of creating safe and trusting therapeutic relationships that allow clients to explore and heal from their past experiences.
In my practice, I draw upon a range of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.

I am trained in

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing),

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT),

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills training

• Motivational Interviewing

• Somatic Internal Family Systems

• Sand Tray

• Mindfulness

• Hakomi

• Somatic Abolitionism

• Interpersonal Neurbiology.
  

  These evidence-based therapies have proven to be effective in helping clients process traumas and manage related symptoms.
  
  I approach my therapeutic role with deep reverence, feeling privileged to accompany individuals during their most sacred moments of growth. It is an honor to witness the resilience, transformation, and personal empowerment that can emerge through the therapeutic process. I look forward to working together with you on your path towards healing and self-discovery.
