My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—I’ll support you, challenge you when needed, and give you practical tools to help you build confidence, emotional resilience, and a life that feels more like yours.

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 licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I offer individual, couple, and family therapy to adult clients - I also enjoy working with preteens/teens!  In my work with clients I explore individual factors, family dynamics/patterns (historical/current), and social factors (privilege, marginalization) as they relate to presenting problems (anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, etc.) Additionally, I work from a decolonial, intersectional feminist, and social justice lens. I see clients as the expert in their lives and collaborate with them to better support them in leading their best lives.   If you have any questions about me or the work I do, please book a 15-20 minute free phone consultation with me!  

Caring, empathetic, compassionate, Christian counselor with over 30 years of experience. Available to meet with couples and families in the comfort of their own homes.
