Hello, I am Samantha or Sam, 

My journey as a therapist began at the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown, where I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work in 2019. Since becoming licensed by the State Board in 2022, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of life’s most profound challenges. My background includes walking alongside adults navigating substance recovery in intensive inpatient settings, as well as partnering with children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient care as they heal from anxiety, life transitions, and everyday stressors.

Because no two people heal the same way, my therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored entirely to you. I blend the mind-body connection of mindfulness techniques with insights from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Grounded in a strengths-based perspective, my ultimate goal is to help you recognize the resilience you already possess and empower you to build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

 

When I am not in the therapy room, I cherish quality time with my family and friends, winding down with my cats, or simply relaxing outside in my hammock.
