I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with five years of experience supporting women who are currently in, or recovering from, intimate partner violence (IPV) relationships. I specialize in helping clients navigate the emotional impact of trauma, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the complex process of rebuilding after abuse. I understand how difficult it can be to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next steps. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can begin to heal, regain your sense of self, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Your first session is all about connection—we’ll do quick introductions, talk through what’s bringing you in, and start identifying your goals. From there, therapy becomes a supportive space where you’ll feel heard, validated, and empowered. I offer compassionate, non-judgmental support while working side-by-side with you to create meaningful change. Your goals are our road map—and together, we’ll make progress.
Clients often share that they feel safe, heard, and at ease in our sessions. I bring a calm, compassionate, and approachable presence that allows you to open up without fear of judgment. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, ensuring that your voice and your goals guide the process. My focus is on helping you build insight, strengthen boundaries, and develop the tools needed to create a healthier, more empowered life.
I work best with women who are experiencing or recovering from IPV and are ready to begin their healing journey. Many of my clients have a history of trauma and may struggle with self-worth, boundaries, anxiety, or depression. Whether you’re trying to leave a harmful relationship, process past experiences, or build healthier patterns moving forward, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

My approach to EMDR is client-centered and grounded in safety. I believe healing happens when clients feel emotionally supported and empowered.

Samara was immediately warm and made me feel right at home in my first session. She has a welcoming personality, positive attitude, and helped me feel very comfortable in discussing my goals. She asked great questions and listened carefully to all of my answers. I felt heard and supported. Thanks, Samara!
