Hello, I’m Samantha

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) located in Oceanside, California and am able to work with any clients located in any part of California with tele-therapy. I am a Certified EMDR therapist that works with clients to help reduce their trauma. I use eye movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR), which is an evidence-based method of healing trauma as well as other therapy modalities. I also often use what is knows as “parts” work or Internal Family System (IFS) in addition to EMDR. I am IFS informed and have the knowledge to incorporate this parts work into our EMDR work when needed. I also specialize in working with mothers who are experiencing struggles in postpartum or during pregnancy. This includes using EMDR to help women who have experienced birth trauma and help reduce/relieve this trauma with EMDR reprocessing. I am a mother with two young children and have found healing myself from EMDR. I am passionate about helping others find their own healing.
