About My Clients

Samantha believes that every client is an individual and needs an individualized treatment approach. Therefore, her practice incorporates culturally sensitive elements of psychodynamic work to help clients explore their past and present circumstances and traumas in order to promote increased self-awareness, relief from stress and anxiety, better relationships, greater life satisfaction, and improved overall health.
