Bring joy and peace back into your life

Samantha Tomer, Licensed Professional Counselor

You remember a time when restless sleep, unhealthy relationships, and not enough time for yourself weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory.

Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

You’ve come to the right place.

I’m Samantha, and I help women and men just like you: ones that have it within them to be joyful and feel like yourself again, but just need the support to get there.

My training in empowerment, working with victims of crimes, as well as my own experience coping with having an autoimmune disease, means I have the expertise you need and deserve when healing from sexual abuse/ trauma or coping with an autoimmune disease . But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a survivor struggling with the aftermath of trauma or illness, right?

I get it because I’ve devoted my counseling career to working with survivors and for those coping with autoimmune disease, I’ve been there too. I know that the trauma or illness feels like it takes over your life and sometimes you just want to curl up in a ball and give up. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.

First, we will complete an initial intake, where I gather a complete, holistic history of you and discuss further what is bringing you in, we’ll talk about what might be causing you to lose sleep, anxiety, or feeling lost. Then, together, we will build a foundation of self-care and wellness that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll rediscover yourself and your values, have a better understanding of your past and be equipped with the skills you need to have a life full of joy and happiness.

I am dedicated to helping people rediscover who they really are outside of their trauma, illness, or busy and demanding lives.

I help my clients rediscover themselves and their values, find happiness, and commit to themselves by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand how their past and/ or their illness has affected them and what they can do about it moving forward.

Many of today’s solutions for healing from trauma and coping with autoimmune disease are one size-fits-all, leading so many to feel unheard, invalidated, or totally overwhelmed. I know that your circumstances are unique, so all the work that we do is centered around you and you only, after all your story is unique and should be treated as such.
