The Heart Behind Harbor Arizona

A woman with blonde hair, wearing a gray dress and black boots, sits on a large rock outdoors, smiling and resting her head on her hand.

Samantha, a compassion-based adolescent coach, founded Harbor Arizona in 2024 as a gentle refuge for healing, a space where adolescents and young adults can unburden, reconnect, and be fully seen without judgment.

Samantha has worked with a range of all ages, and the more work she has done in the field, she has found a deep passion for adolescents and young adults. She understands how difficult and uncertain this stage of life can feel, especially without someone to turn to.

Rooted in warmth, honesty, and humanity, she created Harbor as a soft landing for what feels too heavy or too much. Her approach is quiet, compassionate, and deeply intentional, holding space for healing that doesn’t have to perform.
