“Healing doesn’t mean the hurt never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” Hello and welcome! I’m Samantha. I enjoy working with people of all ages and I see children, teens and adults. I also have specific experience working in maternal mental health and specifically with clients who are experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Additionally, I have experience working with parents who are learning to juggle this role, but who also want to stay true to who they are as an individual.

Children, adolescents, and families are the focus of my practice. Developing and strengthening the parent-child relationship is especially important with young children. Helping children learn to feel more capable and independent is important for school age children. Developing autonomy and learning to make good choices is critical for adolescents. By creating achievable goals together and working in a safe and supportive environment, we are able to create positive experiences for both children and parents.

Tabitha’s background includes working specifically with children and adolescents in a variety of settings including an adolescent alternative school, and an outpatient therapy setting. Tabitha often works with clients who have challenges related to anxiety, trauma, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, relationship conflicts, and self-esteem. Tabitha practices with a person centered, holistic approach, and strives to create a safe and validating environment for clients in session.

Wherever they find themselves, I am dedicated to helping my clients get to the heart of what troubles them so they can be free to live richer, more satisfying lives.

Our teens, twenties and thirties are transitional years of growth, clarity, and exploration, which can feel equally scary and exciting!

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Whether you've tried therapy before or you're brand new to the process, taking these first steps can be nerve-wracking. Because of this, I believe that the safe, trusting environment and relationship built between therapist and client is at the core of this work. What’s most important to me is that you feel comfortable being yourself in therapy, and my goal is that you always feel heard, supported, and accepted. Therapy is different for everybody, and I want this process to be unique and personal to you and your needs.
