I'm glad you're here! I’m Sam - I specialize in supporting people who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. Even simple tasks can feel impossible. Some days it's hard to answer a text, brush your teeth, or imagine a future without this pain. Together we can work gently toward relief, self-understanding, and building hope. My approach is collaborative and trauma-informed as we find steadier ground and reconnect you with the parts of yourself that feel lost.
I value each person’s distinctive goals for therapy, and for themselves. I use my experience and training in health sciences, spiritual care, and psychotherapy to work with your strengths to move beyond depression, anxiety, and grief to build a state of peace.
I genuinely care about you as a person. No matter how dark your world feels right now, I hope to light a candle, and walk with you on your journey. Please visit the website for more information, and to book. If you have reached out, be sure to check your junk mail if you don't notice a response right away!

I work closely with people struggling to get through daily tasks due to paralyzing depression, anxiety, or trauma. The things that used to bring joy no longer bring any meaning. You can expect a safe space to share at your own pace (with gentle guidance) as we find patterns, explore deeper connections, and create new meaning and identity.

I believe that our strategy can and should change as you grow. While these are the main treatments I am trained in, I am a big believer in integrating modalities to make sure that you and I find a pathway that works for YOU. There is no one-size fits all solution, and I like to work with each person to locate unique strengths, supports, and strategies.
