Sunflower Psychiatry and Wellness

“Samantha is absolutely wonderful. I have been seeing her for almost 4 years now and I feel so blessed to have found such a caring, kind, understanding and helpful therapist who has actually made a true difference in my life. Over the last 30 years I have had several therapists that never gave me true help with my depression and anxiety without the help of a high dose of medication, but Samantha has shown me it can be done. With her help, I now have a wonderful outlook on life without the side effects of heavy medication. If you're looking for a kind hearted, intelligent and respectful therapist who truly cares, I HIGHLY suggest you reach out to Samantha, she CAN HELP!!!!!”

“Samantha was the first psychiatrist who truly helped me navigate an incredibly complex medical picture before anyone fully knew what was going on. I came to her with a lifetime of symptoms that had been mislabeled, misunderstood, or flattened into the usual buckets. Instead of forcing me into a simple explanation, she listened carefully, took my observations seriously, and helped me regulate while the bigger picture was still unfolding. What mattered most was that she respected the complexity. She didn’t treat me like a stereotype or dismiss the fact that I had been tracking my own body with unusual precision for years. She helped me think through medication, nervous system regulation, seizure-like symptoms, ADHD treatment, and the possibility that connective tissue issues were driving much more than anyone had realized. For someone dealing with EDS, autonomic chaos, weird neurological symptoms, and a lifetime of “this does not fit neatly anywhere,” that kind of clinician is rare. Samantha gave me room to explain what was happening without making me feel crazy for noticing it. She is kind, sharp, open-minded, and willing to work with uncertainty. That combination genuinely helped me survive one of the hardest and most confusing periods of my life. I’m deeply grateful she was part of the process.”

“I would highly recommend Samantha! Not only is she highly knowledgeable in the field of neurodivergence, (which was refreshing to find) but when I talk with her I feel like she truly understands me! She's very empathetic and compassionate, and she does more than just listen and give advice, she truly cares. : )”

“Sam is AMAZING! I tried two other therapists before her and I just didn't feel like I was making progress. However after seeing her for just a couple months I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my mental health and I couldn't be more thankful! 🙏”
