More about Samera
- 3 years' experience

- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem, as well as those facing major life transitions and changes.
My approach is grounded in understanding the unique experiences of my clients. I'm particularly passionate about supporting older adults, women, and individuals from communities of color, and I bring cultural awareness and sensitivity to our work together.
I specialize in helping clients explore self-love and communication, work through isolation and loneliness, and discover their life purpose. I also support those managing caregiver stress, workplace challenges, mood-related concerns, seasonal affective patterns, and the impacts of discrimination and prejudice. For clients who have experienced domestic violence or trauma from natural or human-caused events, I provide compassionate, trauma-informed care.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to build the coping skills and insights you need to move forward. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your healing journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
