Welcome! If you're seeking mental health support, it would be an honor to join you on your journey. Taking care of your mental health is a big deal and finding a therapist can feel like a lot. My goal is to make the process feel easy, comfortable, and maybe even a little less intimidating. Whether you’re feeling stuck, out of sync, or ready to build a life that feels more like you, I’m here to help. We’ll work together to figure out your goals and create a plan that actually fits your life. Sessions with me are supportive, down-to-earth, and collaborative, with plenty of validation, normalization, humor, and practical problem-solving along the way. You don’t have to do this alone- I’ve got you. A little about me: My name is Samantha, and I’m a licensed counselor in New Jersey and Pennsylvania with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my B.S. in Psychology from Stockton University and my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rider University. My therapy style is a blend of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, all tailored to fit your individual needs. I have experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, OCD, mood swings, irritability, panic attacks, impulsivity, trauma, poor sleep hygiene, unhealthy eating patterns, grief and loss, hopelessness, suicidal ideation, self-harm, ADHD, perinatal mood & anxiety disorders (including pregnancy loss), and more. I am also a mom of 2 beautiful kiddos and I enjoy reading, spending time with friends/family, traveling, singing/dancing, and cuddling up on the couch. I have an extensive background working in Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programs, where I supported individuals with stabilization and skill-building. Now, I’ve transitioned to traditional outpatient counseling, where I continue to provide education, support, and guidance to my clients. When you’re ready, feel free to reach out-I’m here to ease your worries, answer your questions, and support you every step of the way. I look forward to hearing from you!
