I am licensed in Oklahoma with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My ideal client is one that takes an active approach to their treatment, that is open to be challenged and step out of their comfort zone. I want my clients to take an active approach to their mental health treatment and do the work in session and outside of session. Each session is 45 minutes. I encourage the client to be motivated to do work both in session and outside of session in order to reach their goals.

I've only had 2 meeting but I feel that she has cut through all the "fluff" very quickly and immediately started to work on the issues at hand

Samayra has helped me with understanding myself more and you can tell she has a lot of experience. I have been hesitant to go to therapy but she has completely changed my mind on it. I would for sure recommend her!

Working with Samayra has been transformative for me. Since we began, my confidence has increased significantly, and I’ve grown more comfortable asserting myself in a world that often feels unwelcoming. She has encouraged me to take up space, both physically and emotionally, and has guided me in using “I” statements to express my thoughts and feelings more effectively. This practice has been empowering and has helped me articulate my needs without fear or hesitation.
Samayra challenges me to explore my emotions deeply and to stand firm in them rather than defaulting to my usual people-pleasing tendencies. Her approach has helped me recognize the value of my voice and my boundaries, and I’m learning how to prioritize my well-being in situations where I might have previously compromised myself for the comfort of others.
What I appreciate most about her is the thoughtful and judgment-free environment she creates, which allows me to confront personal challenges with honesty and self-compassion. Working with her has not only increased my confidence but also helped me grow into someone who approaches life with greater clarity and self-respect. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and support throughout this journey.
