Hi, I’m Samantha

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist located in the San Francisco Bay Area, providing psychotherapy to teens, adults, and couples.

 

 

Why people come to therapy

Psychotherapy is an especially potent aid in healing because you are no longer going it alone. By coming to therapy, you gain a warm empathic witness to accompany you through the healing process. Getting to tell your story- feeling truly seen and heard is powerful medicine.

In day-to-day life, we often don’t get the opportunity to slow down and be with ourselves. In therapy, we create a reflective space where we get to unpack and process past experiences, experiences that have shaped who we are today.

We gain insight into how we became our present-day selves. Why we act the ways we do, why we seem to repeatedly engage in the same relational dynamics, and why we have learned particular coping mechanisms.

Therapy isn’t about fixing something that is broken. It’s about building on already existing strengths, honoring your innate inner wisdom, and supporting you as you navigate life’s challenges.

 

What to expect.

Sessions may involve working with breath, movement, mindfulness, creative experiments,  imagination, and visualization as well as traditional talk-based methods.

Currently, sessions are held online and by phone. This allows me to work with clients from all over the state of California.

My favorite way to work is doing long-term, in-depth, relational therapy as I believe that is the most consistent and effective way to support healing and growth.
