She works with concerns that include relationship challenges, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and career strain.
Her sessions are collaborative and direct. Samantha uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based approaches, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different behaviors. She also incorporates client-centered practices to keep the work focused on the person in front of her.
Sam values clear communication and practical skills. She helps clients set small, achievable goals, practice new ways of coping, and build self-compassion. Conversations can include problem-solving, values work, and strategies for better sleep and daytime rest.
Her practice is informed by commitments to equity and anti-racism, and she welcomes discussion of identity and background alongside mental health symptoms. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Samantha uses several practical approaches that work well in talk-based therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change mood and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small steps you can take toward a meaningful life while learning to make space for difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people practice new ways to connect and set boundaries.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Samantha will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and flexible so strategies can be adjusted as the work progresses.
