She earned her Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and her Bachelor’s degree from Stockton University. Sam has been working with children, teens, and adults for over 6 years, assisting them in managing overwhelming thoughts and feelings.

Sam uses a flexible approach to therapy, incorporating evidence-based therapeutic strategies that are tailored to the individual.  Sam pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help clients gain insight into life stressors and find better ways to manage their experienced emotions. She also incorporates humor into many of her sessions as she believes laughter is important to the healing process.

She values diversity and sees everyone as a unique individual, adapting her therapeutic approach to best fit each and every client.
