New to Grow
Hi, I’m Samantha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where clients can feel understood and supported. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and life stress. Using a blend of trauma informed care and attachment-based approaches, I help clients gain confidence, develop new skills, and create meaningful changes that support long-term wellness.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session will focus on gathering background information, understanding your current concerns, and identifying what you’d like to work toward. I’ll walk you through my approach, answer any questions, and collaborate with you to create a plan that fits your needs and pace.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is my emphasis on collaboration and strengths. I see therapy as a partnership, and I work alongside you to identify what’s already working, build on your resilience, and create a plan that supports long-term growth and self-trust.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who want to better understand themselves, break old cycles, and move toward meaningful change. Whether you are managing anxiety, attachment wounds, or the weight of past experiences, I provide a supportive space to explore, heal, and grow.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With CBT, we work together to understand how your thoughts influence your feelings and actions, and build tools to create healthier patterns.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients make room for difficult emotions while staying focused on what truly matters to them.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help clients process distressing memories so they can feel less triggered and more in control.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationships shape current patterns and build healthier connections.
Strength-Based
I use a strength-based approach to help clients identify their existing skills and resources so they can build on what’s already working.
