When painful thoughts and emotions show up, it can be like trying to find our way through a fog. It’s hard to live the way we want to when anxiety makes our mind spin in circles, when shame hangs on us like a dead weight, and when our inner voice is constantly questioning and criticizing. As painful as they are, these feelings are here to show us that something needs to change. By listening to them and working through them together, we can clear the path to a life that is manageable and fulfilling. In my practice, I work with adults—both individuals and couples—to help them find that path.
My clients often tell me that they like working with me because I’m friendly, warm, and genuine—and that I'm also honest and practical. What you’re going through is already heavy, but that doesn’t mean therapy has to be. Of course there will be moments of challenge, but a mix of depth, tools, and hopefully a few laughs along the way is a recipe for healing.
Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help when you need it. You don't have to keep taking this on alone. You've already made it this far, take the next step and reach out. If you've connected with what I've said above, I'd be happy to talk to you about helping you move toward the life you want. Warmly, Sam.
