There are some things that are important to know about Samantha's schedule. She works Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm and does not offer evening or weekend appointments. For first-time clients she typically schedules the first appointment about 4-6 weeks out. After that she will have availability to schedule re-occurring appointments weekly or biweekly depending on your needs. Late afternoon and early morning appointments are always in high demand. This mean that the only availability is between 9:00 AM- 2:00 PM for new clients and their ongoing appointments. As the early morning or later afternoon appointments open up, established clients can move into those time slots on a first come, first served basis.
Treatment specialization include:
Samantha’s practice centers on helping individuals manage ADHD and trauma, with an emphasis on developing sustainable strategies for regulation, structure, and healing. Her work focuses on building executive functioning skills, improving attention and emotional balance, addressing identity-related stressors, and processing difficult life experiences in a supportive and structured environment.
Samantha will begin ADDCA’s Basic ADHD & Life Coach Training Certification Program in January 2026 and expects to complete certification by August 2026. This additional training will allow her to provide formal ADHD-specific coaching to enhance life skills, decision-making, accountability, and goal management.
Additional Clinical Training and Treatment Experience
Although her practice emphasizes ADHD and trauma management, Samantha has extensive training and experience working with:
- Grief
- Anxiety
- Anger management
- Conflict resolution skills
- Depression and mood concerns

Additionally, she has specialized training/experience in:
