Reaching out for help takes courage, but rest assured, you've already demonstrated strength by being here. Hi, I’m Samantha. I'm an LMHC based in Florida and have over 10 years of experience working with teens and adults who are often seeking help for anxiety, stress, or depression while others are looking for guidance on how to cope with everyday stressors, challenging relationships, or adjusting to major life transitions. I'm here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be unapologetically you. Together, we will manage overwhelming stress, overcome unexpected changes, and dial down those big emotions. My clients enjoy my sense of humor, down to earth attitude, and appreciate my understanding, open-mindedness, and being direct when needed.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and any specific goals or concerns you have. I'll explain how the therapeutic process works and answer any questions you may have during our time together. We'll explore your background, including family history and past experiences. Getting to know you will allow me to gain a better understanding of your unique situation so I can tailor our sessions to best meet your needs. Overall, the focus is on creating a comfortable and supportive environment where you can feel confident in working through the challenges you're experiencing.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths as a mental health provider are my ability to provide genuine empathy and compassion. I really connect with my clients on an emotional level. My goal is to understand where you're coming from without any judgment and create a safe space where you can share about your struggles. Every client is unique, and I respect that diversity. Whether it's cultural background, personal beliefs, or life experiences, I make sure to approach each client with an open mind and a willingness to learn from them. I see therapy as a partnership. We'll work together to set goals and find strategies that fit you. It's your life, and you're in charge. I approach each session with flexibility and adapt to meet your changing needs and circumstances. I provide supportive guidance that evolves alongside your progress. These strengths reflect my dedication to providing compassionate, effective, and personalized care. I'm here to help you feel understood, empowered, and ready to take on whatever life throws your way.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. We'll identify any negative thought patterns and work on challenging and changing them to improve your mood and behavior. Through collaboration and practical techniques, I’ll help you develop skills to cope with challenges and live a more fulfilling life.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Using DBT in sessions allows us to explore ways to manage your emotions, improve your relationships, and handle stressful situations more effectively. We'll use techniques like mindfulness to stay grounded, learn how to regulate your emotions, and work on better communication skills. With practice and support, you'll develop the tools needed to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

With Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy, we focus on strengths and goals rather than dwelling on past problems. Together, we'll identify what's working well in your life and explore small steps you can take to achieve your desired outcomes. By emphasizing your strengths and finding practical solutions, the goal is to create positive change quickly and efficiently.

Strength-Based

In Strengths-Based Therapy, we'll focus on identifying and utilizing your unique strengths and resources to overcome challenges. Rather than dwelling on weaknesses or problems, we'll highlight your capabilities and positive qualities. Together, we'll explore how to leverage these strengths to achieve your goals and enhance your overall well-being.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I use a person-centered approach during sessions that focus on you and your experience. I'll provide a supportive and empathetic environment where you can explore your feelings and thoughts without judgment. Together, we'll work on increasing self-awareness and understanding, empowering you to make positive changes in your life based on your own values and goals.
