Biography

Hi there! I’m Sam, a licensed outpatient trauma therapist with Redbird Mental Health, where I’ve spent the past five years dedicated to helping clients navigate their healing journeys. I’m passionate about trauma recovery and focus on aligning our work with the goals you bring into our sessions. I believe that a strong therapist-client connection is essential for healing along with holding the space for my clients to feel their emotions in a safe, calming environment. I am currently certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) an evidence based trauma therapy technique for children and young adults.

Who Is Samantha?

When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me living my best mom life, coaching a kids’ soccer team, crafting, exploring new restaurants, or simply relaxing at home with my family. Let’s play!

About Therapy

While I enjoy working with clients of all ages, I have a special affinity for children. I’m currently pursuing a registered play therapy license, which allows me to use creative methods—like toys, figurines, sandtray, and movement—to help kids process past traumas and emotions. I’m also in training for EMDR (eye movement reprocessing and desensitization), a powerful therapeutic approach suitable for all ages. My plan is to complete both of these certifications in 2025.
