Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.​

I believe in teaching my clients how to treat themselves with love and compassion. I encourage them to look within through a lens of acceptance and curiosity to help them on their journey to be their best selves. I wholeheartedly believe that we all do the best we can with what we have at the time, and I bring that mindset to exploring the past and the challenges that sometimes hold us back from moving forward

A Little About Me​

My name is Samantha, and I am a mom, teacher, wife, short-order cook, laundry connoisseur, dog mama, sometimes yogi, sometimes reader of novels, carpooling chauffeur, friend, therapist — and so much more. Therapy has guided me through many stages of my own life: navigating my parents’ divorce as a child, finding my path in adolescence, body image struggles, adjusting to life as a new parent, couples therapy, and postpartum depression and anxiety. These experiences shaped not only my empathy but also my deep belief in the power of therapy to help us reconnect with our truest selves.

​

In my work as a therapist, I truly believe — and research supports — that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the strongest predictors of whether therapy will be helpful. That’s why I focus on being relatable, warm, authentic, and fully present. I love helping people bloom into their best selves, using curiosity, compassion, practical tools, and yes — a little bit of humor along the way.

Why I Do This Work

I specialize in supporting women — especially moms — who are managing anxiety, overwhelm, and the mental load of everyday life. Through virtual therapy across California, I provide a safe, compassionate space where growth, self-discovery, and even laughter can coexist. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, develop strategies to ease anxiety, and help you reconnect with your truest, most authentic self.
