Hi! My name is Samantha and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that seeking support is one of the strongest and bravest things a person can do. Navigating all of life's ups and downs can feel scary and isolating. Whether is it day to day anxieties, relationship challenges, life transitions or just feeling stuck. I want to help you through your journey so you will not go through it alone.
Welcome- I'm a culturally informed and trauma oriented counselor dedicated to help individual to heal, grow, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
My journey into mental health work began during my years as a Child Protective Specialist in NYC, where I worked closely with children and adults navigating some of life's most painful and complex circumstances.
After receiving my graduate degree, I worked with non-profit organization supporting children and survivors of domestic violence. Today, I serve as a full time outpatient mental health therapist working with clients from diverse background who are seeking healing, clarity, and empowerment.
Each step of my career has been guiding me by a simple truth: that healing is possible when people feel truly seen, heard, understood, supported. My new chapter with Headway marks an exciting step forward- expanding my practice to offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for those ready to begin or continue their healing journey.
With 12 years of experience as a social worker, I have worked with a vast array of individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, and other challenges with day to day life. We all struggle once in a while, but things can get better. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a non-judgmental safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and safe.
