About

Welcome! I’m Samantha, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in cancer support, chronic illness, and terminal illness. I help individuals, couples, and families navigate the emotional impact of diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and loss. Whether you’re coping with grief, caregiving stress, or fertility and women’s health concerns, I offer a compassionate, grounded space to process your experience, find strength, and move toward healing at your own pace. With a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy from Northwestern University, my work blends evidence-based practice with a relational, conversational approach. I specialize in supporting those affected by cancer, chronic and terminal illness, caregiver burnout, grief, and fertility challenges with empathy and clinical expertise.
