02 · In Samantha's own words
What Samantha says about the work
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello! I am so glad you are here. I am a Christian therapist and work to integrate faith and spirituality into the therapy work I do with individuals and couples. With non-Christians, I still incorporate their spirituality when applicable, inasmuch as they are comfortable. I do Christian Counseling, CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness as tools to help people achieve the most peace, wellness, and fulfillment in themselves as individuals, in their relationships with their significant others, and in all areas of life. I espouse to mind-body-spirit. I look forward to working with you and helping you in any way I can. It will be an honor and a privilege to be allowed to walk alongside you on the journey to health.

03 · What happens next
From this page to a first session
Samantha practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence,
written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of
Samantha's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
A questionnaire, not a booking form
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from
therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Samantha at this point.
Naming Samantha specifically
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Samantha is a step you have to
take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch
afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to
Samantha.
If the caseload is full
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is
easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
The first conversation
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried,
what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
If the fit is wrong
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is
common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference
between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
4 questions worth asking Samantha
Built from what Samantha actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic.
Maker Therapy's, not Samantha's - Samantha has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer
any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 16 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Korean. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

Where every line on this page came from
Samantha's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography
are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are
written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Samantha. There are no reviews
or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
