The evidenced based approaches I use include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Emotional Freedom and Marriage Therapies and Trauma Focused Therapy.
With 14 years of experience in therapy, I truly enjoy my job. I am compassionate about helping others establish a strong foundation so they can effectively cope with current struggles as well as struggles they’ll be approached with in the future. My clients would describe me as compassionate, easy to talk to, and very understanding. I'm sensitive to the unique experiences of each individual and believe connection, trust, and understanding are essential to the therapeutic process. I value getting goals accomplished and making progress during each session.

EMDR is my primary modality because it is known as the gold standard, evidence based trauma focused treatment.
Love shouldn’t hurt. If you're stressed out, overwhelmed, or anxious in your relationships, I can help. Do you feel like you’re not enough or that you’re sometimes too much? Do you live in fear of rejection or abandonment? Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts, wondering if your partner really loves you or that they'll leave you? You may have an anxious attachment style or even complex trauma (issues from your past that are presently affecting your relationships). If love hurts, I'd like to help. I specialize in anxiety, trauma and PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), anxious attachment styles / insecure attachment styles.

My passion lies in helping people not just find peace but also in guiding them toward achieving success in three dimensions: mind, body, and soul. I believe that each dimension is interconnected, and by addressing each, individuals can experience profound transformation, even in the face of chaos.

Do you feel your life was hijacked by your past or haunted by awful memories? Have you experienced your fear, anxiety, depression or self-doubt like a relentless storm threatening to capsize you? You may feel lost and wonder why you fall into the same pattern. The narratives you tell yourself can have a profound impact on the way you see yourself. Maybe you are tired of the inner critic in your head who has been telling you.

Doing this work is a lot like exploring a cave, which like your subconscious is likely to feel daunting. You’ll need to lead the way, flashlight in hand, shining the light into long-forgotten chasms. I want you to feel empowered to take thoughtful, slow, steps forward, knowing I am just behind you, gently asking about what's ahead, and how it feels. We’ll need to explore thoroughly, and possibly dig up long-forgotten artifacts which have informed who you are today. Looking, unburying, and considering what we find will help you gain insight, understanding, and ultimately, increased control in your life.

My ideal client is one primarily motivated for change. I'm not an "ah huh, mmmm, I see" therapist. I am very active in sessions so my client wants honest, direct feedback and education on issues and new skills for more success. I am also patient, seasoned and aware that fear and habits make change hard, so I offer significant support and positive encouragement. My therapy involves Cognitive/Behavioral techniques meaning: understanding you "head chatter" and skills to decrease or make more positive (often driven by anxiety), and changing or creating "actions" that increase positive results and confidence.

I believe people want to live well, but often things happen that are out of our control. This can cause us to have difficulty managing stress, feel anxious, sad, empty, isolated, and even feel the effects on our physical body. My therapeutic approach focuses on providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to identify beliefs that make it challenging to live the life you really want. We will explore life events that may have caused barriers between you and your goals, and together work to learn effective skills to use outside of therapy.

Welcome. My name is Samatha and I specialize in areas often related to interpersonal trauma such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and issues of social inequity. Interpersonal trauma can include anything from childhood trauma that occurs in the family of origin, to ongoing discrimination in everyday life. Often times, trauma interferes with our ability to trust others and the world around us. This makes it very difficult to feel safe and secure in our own skin. It can be challenging to engage in the present moment and feel fulfilled, and it can compromise our health in many ways.
