Are you feeling disconnected from the people around you? Do you have a sense that some inherent part of you is less worthy than others? You are not alone; it is unfortunately not uncommon for people who carry trauma, especially identity-based trauma, to feel this way. When an integral part of who you are has been attacked, either in one big way or every day in a series of smaller harms, it can leave you feeling as though you are not deserving of the things you need, much less those that you want. I am here to empower you to reclaim your innate wisdom.

Vulnerability: while rewarding, can be daunting. It isn’t easy to let someone into your internal landscape and I value the possibility of learning yours. My name is Sam and I work with clients to become intimately comfortable with the buried and beautifully impactful aspects of themselves. Often, the relationship to yourself contributes to how your days unfold in the world around you. When was the last time you heard or nurtured the parts of yourself that long for you? In doing so, a gateway opens up to a sense of self-worth that will allow you to experience yourself and your environment with a new lens.

You haven't felt relaxed or content in a long time because you keep replaying scenes from the past and find it hard to let go. You often feel drained and disconnected in your relationships. You find yourself worrying about the future, about finding meaning, and about the responsibility of defining your life. You feel as though you are simply going through the motions and find it hard to be motivated or engaged at work or home. You know you want more out of life but you feel stuck.

I support clients in reclaiming their power through the use of EMDR. EMDR is an evidence-based theoretical model that shifts the way our nervous systems store trauma. It can be used to support clients struggling with any form of trauma, but I specialize in treating race-related stress and trauma that disrupt individuals' relationships to their own bodies, hearts, and minds. I borrow from Resmaa Menakem, Clinical Social Worker & Trauma Expert. He says, "Trauma is the body's protective response to an event -or a series of event - that it perceives as potentially dangerous," not only to our physical bodies but what we care about.

Seeing a therapist doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. It means that you may be seeking clarity in some areas in your life, or wanting to work through complex emotions. It may mean you are working through a traumatic experience or challenging negative thinking patterns. Some people come to therapy to learn new ways to cope with difficult situations, or they may be focused on personal growth. Whatever the reason you are considering therapy, I can help you increase your understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and explore areas in your life that you would like to improve in a compassionate and empathic space.

My approach to therapy is to embark on a journey of discovery with compassion.

You hold yourself to a higher standard yet, lately seem to have lost focus and struggle to maintain your motivation. You find yourself starting to believe the small voice in the back of your head stating that you are not good enough. You go to lengths to take great care of others, however, do not extend the same love and care to yourself. You put on a happy face and pretend that all is well, however, often can feel very much alone and anxious. You may feel consumed by: sadness, fear, anger or hopelessness; and even the simplest of tasks seems overwhelming. You long to get back to your old self and find joy and meaning in life.

Reaching out and seeking support for yourself can be extremely vulnerable and taxing, especially when you've already been trying to manage overwhelming emotions and the issues of every day life. Even if we do not end up working together, I am glad that you are out here exploring what kind of help is available to you. Shopping for therapists can be tricky. Wherever you are in your journey, whether it is struggling to feel present during sex, questions of identity, or trying to cope with developmental/relational trauma, my goal is to meet you there and help you discover safe and inviting possibilities towards your goals.
