Life can feel like a fight at times, and you don’t have to face it alone. I stand in my clients’ corner, offering a supportive, compassionate space to listen, honestly reflect, and help guide them toward a more balanced and fulfilling tomorrow. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your relationship, or your child; I have over 10 years of experience effectively providing social and therapeutic support services to individuals and families in the Treasure Valley.

Before I ever began my journey to become a counselor, I strived to be a listening ear and genuine mirror to the values that my friends and family communicated to me. That respect for connection, presence, and authenticity continues to guide my work today. I deeply value the courage it takes to seek support during difficult seasons and to make meaningful changes that cultivate our growth and well-being. For some this may look like healing past trauma and/or addressing current dynamics of life today. However the circumstances, I'm honored to be a part of your journey as you work toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you’re ready to heal, grow, and feel more aligned in your day to day, I am excited to be a support. My own experiences with hardship and growth have shaped the compassion I bring into our sessions. My goal is to create an environment of warmth and comfort where we can build rapport and collaborate on what you need today to restore your peace, self-worth, and overall satisfaction.

As your counselor I focus on identifying and nourishing your existing strengths and resources, using them as a foundation to address areas that feel unbalanced. Together, we’ll practice effective skills and practical techniques tailored to what works best for you. While the work can be challenging as well as meaningful, therapy can also include moments of connection, humor, and lightness as we build a path that aligns with your goals for the future. Thank you for taking the time to invest in yourself—I look forward to meeting you!

"I truly don’t have enough words to express the gratitude I feel for Samantha. I’ve been seeing her for a while, and during that time she’s helped guide me through one of the most difficult breakups I’ve ever experienced — something that felt impossible to get through when I first walked into her office.

Samantha is more than just an incredible counselor — she’s someone I’ve come to trust deeply, someone who listens without judgment and holds space with genuine compassion. Our sessions have not only helped me process the pain, but also helped me rediscover parts of myself I had lost along the way. With her guidance, I’ve learned how to love myself again and take my power back — something I never thought I’d be able to do.

She has this rare ability to meet you exactly where you are, and still gently challenge you to grow. Over time, our connection has grown into something really special — I honestly feel like I can count on her, no matter what I’m going through. I’ve laughed, cried, and had moments of real clarity thanks to her. If you’re looking for someone who is grounded, warm, and truly committed to your healing, I can’t recommend Samantha enough."
