Samia is very kind and knowledgeable. Her ability to articulate and phrase the garbage that comes out of my mouth is quite impressive. Unsure how well I’m responding to it but she’s doing great on her side.

Life is a journey and every small step you take in therapy is a step in the right direction. My goal is to provide an empathic and engaging atmosphere where you will experience safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental interaction as we navigate your journey together. I believe in a client-centered approach and that you are the change-maker who holds the power to guide your journey. I believe that each person has unique impressions and experiences, so my treatment is tailored to your individual needs. I hope to work with you in exploring your emotions and experiences, to help you develop some tools that can make life’s journey easier.
I have experience working with adolescents and adults. I have assisted clients in navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions and trauma. I have experience with members of the LGBTQ+ community. I am sensitive to multicultural issues and welcome collaborating with clients from various backgrounds to provide culturally competent therapy.
Ready to start the journey of healing? Take the next step and connect with me. I can't promise you that it won't be challenging but I am sure you will be pleased with who you become on the other side.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
