Specialties
Bio
Samantha is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Arizona with extensive training in grief work, trauma, and client-centered care. She primarily works with young adults and adults in their 20s through 40s, offering a compassionate, client-centered approach that meets each person where they are and moves at their pace.
She specializes in grief and holds an advanced training certificate as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist (CAGCS). She is also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). For more than a decade, she has supported young adults through loss, life transitions, chronic pain, and emotional overwhelm.
"Every story of healing is unique — and yours deserves to be met with care, compassion, and authenticity. I offer a space where your grief, growth, and humanity are honored without judgment or rush."
Other close specialties include chronic pain, relationship issues, anxiety, and working with highly sensitive persons (HSP). Samantha uses a blend of grief-informed care, CBT, and trauma-sensitive practices to help clients make sense of what feels heavy or overwhelming, build supportive tools, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that still need care.
Her goal is to help clients feel understood, grounded, and more like themselves again.
