Do my struggles really require counseling? Have you/ your child had experiences that impacted your/ your child's self-confidence, emotional well-being, sleep/appetite, thought patterns, or ability to enjoy relationships and feel safe and secure? Maybe you can't name the cause, but you know you or your child are struggling. Has your life become smaller and smaller as you try to manage anxiety? You can heal from really hard times and reclaim your life. Daring to hope that you could feel better can be the scariest part. I would be honored to accompany, support, and challenge you to process your past so your present is available to you.

When I browse bios on Psychology Today or any other directory, they all start to blend together. Choosing among us likely comes down to an intangible feeling, which I think is perfectly fine! From my perspective, it's challenging to find the right words because I'm not here to sell you anything or convince you of something—that goes against everything I believe in. I'm here to help you find your own way. I suppose sharing what sets me apart from other therapists might be most helpful, but this may sound arrogant, so please bear with me.

I have seen the needs of kids change and grow over the course of my career working with children. The foundation of my practice is understanding that kids do the best they can when they can, and that behavior is a form of communication. My goal is to equip kids and their parents with the tools they need to be emotionally intelligent, resilient, and prepared for social settings. I am dedicated to supporting children and their families through their most challenging times.

Sometimes, the reasons why partners become upset with each other run deeper than the present circumstances. When partners persist in doing or saying things that upset each other over and over again, there is often something more at stake than meets the eye. Stop feeling stuck in the same old problem cycle. I have over 30 years helping couples, individuals, and families find new solutions to old problems.
I have found my post-graduate training in marriage and family therapy to be a valuable resource in helping others achieve their goals and potential. I have also presented at national conferences.

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.
