SC Counseling

Therapy is about courageously exploring change, creating sustainable coping patterns, and embracing healthy beliefs, feelings, and life choices as individuals, as couples, and as families. Simply put, Samantha is in the business of helping heal relationships whether it be a relationship with yourself or with others. She believes that each person deserves the right to experience and live a life that includes healing, sustainability, and joy. Life should be about finding balance and hope despite and in the midst of pain and the various hurt felt. Her primary therapeutic approach is strengths-based and encompasses each individual, couple, or family’s perspective of the world to clients create and perpetuate positive skills. The belief that the power of an individual’s connection to their environment as well as the impact community has on personal and relational development is integral in her work with clients. Her goal is to help each client integrate the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual portions of their individual or relational identity. As native of the sunny southwest originally, Samantha celebrates the appearance of glorious sunshine in the Pacific Northwest with hiking, running, gardening, swimming, and walks with her “furbabies” Cupcake and Maple. When the sun hibernates for the winter, Samantha finds joy in crocheting, reading, drinking tea, and cuddling in front of the fireplace. Samantha’s partner in crime and husband, who helps remind her to wear socks in the winter when her feet are cold and wakes her up early in the summer for beautiful outings, also provides support and business acumen for Samantha’s growing business. Along with her husband and dogs, Samantha continues to be enchanted by her young children and the adventures on which the family embarks together.
