My Favorite Quote

"The purpose in life is not to win. The purpose in life is to grow and to share. When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.” — Harold S. Kushner

Get to Know Samantha

Therapist | LCSW

I know that going to therapy can be frightening and overwhelming, especially for the first time. My hope as a therapist is to provide a comfortable, nonjudgmental space to discuss what is most meaningful to you. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and it is important that we collaborate on the most personalized way to help you achieve your goals. My approach is integrative, client centered and strengths based.

My Professional Background

I have several years of experience working with adults in the health care setting, providing counseling to individuals and families who are facing chronic or sudden illness. I strive to be a calm and supportive presence while helping those who are managing stress, high anxiety, and trauma. I have experience in navigating anticipatory grief, loss and bereavement. I enjoy participating in training and educational opportunities, as I believe continuing education is vital in order to provide the best possible care.

Education, Training, and Certifications

  • Bachelor of Science in Psychology-University of Maryland
  • Master of Social Work-New York University
  • New York University Certificate in Palliative and End of Life Care
  • Calvary Hospital Bereavement Course

Fun Facts

I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I love to travel and create trip itineraries (when the pandemic allows)! I also appreciate a captivating book or reality TV show.
