I work with Samantha myself, as have many of my colleagues and patients. I have left her office feeling greatly changed for the better in both my psyche and my physical body. She is uncommonly gifted at reaching the heart of a matter. She is also sensitive to subtlety and she effectively combines highly developed intuitive skill with well-honed tools in academic psychology. She is an alchemist of sorts and I consider her an invaluable resource in this community.
