Sam has worked with individuals, families and couples, exploring topics such as trauma, anxiety, depression, sexual addiction, relationship issues, and spirituality.
Katie and I have established this counseling ministry out of a renewed understanding of what it means to be a son and daughter of God. This new state of understanding, and living, has allowed us to share our hurts, hopes and joys, and be more forthcoming and intimate with one another, and others. As we have progressed through this journey, we have developed a better sense of how our relational wounds have hindered our desire for intimacy with one another, our children, and those around us. As we have experienced the challenge and joy that this new awareness can bring, we have committed ourselves to sharing what we have learned.

Life can feel hard, you feel stuck, no matter what you do. Maybe your child is having a lot of big emotions, taking over. Having a difficult time expressing them to get needs met. Getting out the door to school or activities just does not seem to go as planned. Fears and worries are taking over, and your sweet child just isn't themselves. You want your motto to be "A happy, healthy family" and yet it feels like it just doesn't quite get there. Thoughts of "How do I help this little person, be the best them and our family be the best us?" Sweet parents/caregivers, you and your little one(s) are amazing and I am so glad you found me!

Working on relationship issues within close relationships or family groups has been a common thread in my practice.
With over 30 years of experience in the field of social work I have worked extensively with individuals, couples and families. My therapy is client-directed so that clients can determine how quickly they wish to delve into and resolve problems they are experiencing. For those who are spiritually inclined I can also integrate work on a spiritual level which enhances psychological progress by allowing clients to go deep into the source of the challenges they are facing. My goal in working with clients is to work myself out of a job by facilitating movement toward a more fulfilling life.

I am interested in working with anyone that feels they can benefit from therapy. One must want to change in order to be able to change. This is a philosophy I live by, and I intend to apply it in each of my therapy sessions. I am educated with a plethora of counseling theories, and have an open mind when it comes to each client. Everyone is unique, and I will adjust my methods to accommodate each client.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or other struggles in your life? Maybe you avoid these feelings by stuffing your emotions down or distracting yourself with activities that ultimately don’t fix anything. Avoidance feels good now, but we know deep down it won’t bring the relief that we are craving. What you need is someone who is safe to talk to and who seeks to understand you. That will make a tremendous difference in your ability to cope and experience life with the joy, contentment, and purpose you are desiring.

“Before you assist others, put your oxygen mask on first." Prioritizing your wellness is essential. Perhaps you feel pulled in a million directions or you have suffered a loss. Perhaps you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship or you constantly compare yourself to others. Breaking unhealthy cycles of thought can be life-changing.

I take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, which allows for a genuine therapeutic relationship to be built.
Life can feel overwhelming at times and it can also hold meaning. Although both can be true, making sense of it all while maintaining a secure connection with others is not an easy balance. Genuine and authentic relationships offer the unconditional support that is essential in building the foundation we need to explore who we are, what we value, and how it all impacts the lives of the ones we love.

Reach out by email for fastest contact. The most powerful predictor of whether therapy will be effective is your relationship with your therapist. Finding the right one can feel overwhelming but you are already on your way. My approach is warm, empathetic and straightforward. I am accepting and direct in nature while focusing on strengths and growth. I do not "beat around the bush" as they say, while also being understanding and kind. I know how important it is to find the right "fit" with a therapist so I offer free 30 minute intro sessions so you can determine if I am the right therapist for you.

Imagine a space where you can fully be yourself, free from judgment and full of possibilities. In our busy lives, that is often hard to envision. Creating this collaborative space is my responsibility as your therapist. I use a whole-person approach in treatment which grants clients a greater understanding not just of the presenting concern itself, but how the concern impacts other areas of your daily life. I’m committed to help you develop insight, resilience, and actionable tools to create the life you envision. I work with diverse populations and connect with clients using an open mind.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
