Hi! My name is Sam and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist seeing clients virtually in both California and Arizona. I am passionate about helping young adults navigate their way through the world of grief, and the various emotions and struggles it brings with it. The majority of my practice focuses on processing the layers of your grief, and the anger, sadness, guilt, shame, denial, and shock that comes with it all. It also focuses on finding an acceptance of how you can live a new life without your loved one, and the secondary losses involved.
I work from an authentic humanistic and person-centered approach where you will feel no sense of judgment, and only consistent rapport, empathy, and support. I also help my clients untangle the way they may view themselves, others, and the world in more ways that will be helpful and positive to see.
Life can be tough, however the way we choose to navigate through the obstacles it can bring says so much more. I will walk alongside you, encouraging you to be your most authentic self (feelings and all), while softly challenging you in areas you may struggle in. We are in this together.
