Hi there! My name is Samantha, aka The Blonde Therapist, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York. I believe in challenging the notion of a "blank slate therapist, and encompass my own personality into my role as a therapist. I understand that therapy cannot utilize a "one size fits all" approach in order to best meet the needs of each client.  I work with teens, young adults, and adult women who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, relationship issues, and people-pleasing tendencies.

As a PhD-level clinician and Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in a wide-range of sexual concerns, as well as complex relationship issues, infidelity, body image concerns, personality dynamics, parenting conflict, personality disorders and LGBTQIA+ issues. For over 20+ years, I have provided psychotherapy to individuals and couples throughout NYC and Long Island (in-person and remotely).

My approach is active, compassionate and goal oriented. My areas of expertise include relationships, couples therapy, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, learning, and career development. I work with clients to replace negative, rigid or chaotic patterns with creative, positive and fulfilling alternatives. Each session is focused, goal directed, and collaborative to set the stage for transforming personal narratives and behavior patterns. I guide clients to overcome obstacles/blind spots and shift in positive and proactive ways to improve their relationships and to experience well being. In my 3 decades of clinical experience, I have had the joy of witnessing many clients become more purposeful, creative, and productive in their lives.

I provide relational, integrative therapy for both couples and individuals. My couples work spans the lifecycle—from premarital and family-building stages to long-term partnerships navigating complex transitions. Trained at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, I honor the diverse ways relationships and families take shape. I also work with ambitious, career-oriented individuals seeking greater fulfillment in their relationships, emotional lives, and professional paths. My approach blends process-oriented exploration with practical, skills-based tools to support clarity, connection, and sustainable change.
