My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build values-based coping strategies, and embark on a journey of personal growth. In doing this work, I have discovered that the best way to move through emotional pain is to allow yourself to feel it. That can be incredibly overwhelming but with caring and consistent support, it becomes manageable. It is deeply healing to be heard and cared for in those vulnerable states and to understand that by attending to early emotional injuries, a path toward an authentic connection to yourself and others is not only possible, but achievable.

Following more than a decade in the field of social services, I started my journey of providing direct mental health services in 2015. I have extensive experience working with older adults, children, and adults with disabilities, doing in-home therapy, as well as in office settings. In addition to direct clinical therapy, I have worked with survivors of domestic violence for several years. Using a strengths-based, solution-focused approach, together, we will define your goals and consider the challenges you may face in achieving them. We will navigate your environmental systems and supports as well as identify your inner strengths, making it possible to alleviate the symptoms that have caused you to seek treatment. The power to change lies within you! *Currently not taking clients from Lynn, Lynnfield, Saugus, Swampscott, Nahant

Hey, everyone! Welcome! My name is Samantha and I have been a clinician for the past twelve years or so. I love helping my clients to reach their full potential and to achieve their goals, and I find being a clinician to be so special and rewarding. I have experience working with clients of all ages in settings such as K-12 schools, juvenile justice, long-term care/geriatrics, etc. I am a mom, and it is the BEST job in the world and yet is also the most challenging job in the world! What a rollercoaster ride, huh? In my free time I enjoy listening to audiobooks, de-cluttering (it's therapeutic for me!), and spending time with my family. Fun fact- I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and I took two years of Japanese language classes in high school!
