Somatic Therapists in Maryland

Hi i'm Sam (she/her), so great you are considering if I would be a good fit. I like to describe my approach as a counselor as a humanistic approach. I understand you'll bring who you are into the therapy space, as will I. This honors your unique story and allows for more authentic alignment towards goals that are most important to you. I primarily practice through the lense of mindfulness and self compassion, although I have specialized training in several areas associated with treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Trauma, and Eating Disorders. I hope you'll reach out to consider scheduling a consultation to see if i'd be a good fit for your needs.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).  I have a Private Practice where I specialize in Couples, Intimacy, and Trauma. My primary approach to couples therapy utilizes Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and The Developmental Model and I have additional training in the Gottman Model and RLT.  I am also trained as a Sex Therapist.   I have an integrative approach to Trauma therapy and utilize advanced training in EMDR, IFS, Body Centered Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, and Inner Child work among others and certified in addictions work.  My approach is strength - based and non-pathologizing.   

We all have moments in life where we need support to help us cope with the highs and lows of the human experience. Change is hard, but inevitable. Together we can expand your resiliency & strengthen your skill set. My approach is to create a collaborative and supportive space in which we explore your experience and discover the wisdom you hold within to heal and change. I want every client to leave therapy feeling empowered and more confident than when they arrived. I use an integrative approach of evidence-based therapies including but not limited to IFS, Somatic therapies, Polyvagal theory, and trauma-informed treatments. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional which informs my integrative style. I have experience working with clients experiencing grief and facing the effects of trauma. You don't have to do this alone, I look forward to hearing from you.
