Working alongside our licensed clinicians, she supports children, adolescents, and adults in both individual and intensive treatment settings while progressively developing her clinical knowledge, skills, and professional responsibilities.
Previously, Sam completed clinical training at Boston Medical Center – Brighton Comprehensive Addiction Program, where she worked with individuals navigating the early stages of recovery from substance use disorders, including inpatient detox, intensive outpatient, and medication-assisted treatments. Sam also completed clinical training at Bi-County Collaborative (BICO), a therapeutic day school. Here, Sam supported middle school students in group and individual therapies, allowing for a more effective learning environment. Additionally, Sam administered and interpreted neuropsychological and clinical assessments to provide diagnostic clarity for students, families, and school-based teams during her time at BICO.
Outside of work, Sam enjoys checking out local coffee shops, thrifting, journaling, and listening to music. Sam’s approach to therapy is client-centered and focuses on supporting clients through genuine kindness and a curious nature. She aims to tailor treatments to each individual client in a warm and collaborative way.
