My Approach to Therapy

Welcome! I'm Samantha, a dedicated therapist based in New York City, committed to fostering growth and facilitating healing in your life journey.

I take a collaborative and personalized approach to my work. There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution in therapy, and I tailor my methods to suit you. Although my therapy style varies from client to client, I maintain my genuine personality in sessions and approach all my clients with the same level of compassion, empathy, and authenticity.

Therapy is a transformative journey towards self-awareness and empowerment. My role as the therapist is to help you explore your experiences and go deeper so we can start working towards your goals as you define them. I’m also a believer that therapy is a space for joy, humor, and celebration, as much as it is for our anxieties, fears, and challenges.

Beyond my therapeutic work, I'm passionate about art and music, often integrating creativity and innovative thinking into our sessions. When I’m not working you can expect to find me making music with friends or throwing at my local ceramics studio.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Contact me today to begin your therapy journey.
