Jennifer Sampson
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and co-founder of The Hoarding Project. I have experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents and families providing therapy services. In my Tacoma practice, I specialize in work with families struggling with problems related to hoarding disorder, and I also see clients with issues relating to depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship enrichment, premarital education, and couples’ conflict.
I earned my Master’s degree from Seattle Pacific University in 2008 and moved to the Midwest to continue my education at the University of Minnesota. I have recently returned to the Pacific Northwest and am currently working on completing my dissertation work for my Ph.D. in Family Social Science, which will be investigating the dynamics of families who have a member who hoards.
