I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 1997 and can help you with reducing your stress and improving your life. I work with young children(age 3 and up), teens, and adults. I specialize in couple/family therapy, as well as in play therapy. Are you asking yourself questions like "Will I ever feel happy again?" or "Can my spouse/significant other and I really work through our problems?" or "Will my child ever follow the rules without a hassle?". If you are, I can tell you change is possible and I can help you with that change.

When everyday challenges leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally depleted, it can be hard to stay present or hopeful. These experiences may be connected to past trauma, and support is available. You don’t have to walk this path alone.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. I offer a consistent presence, a curious ear, and genuine compassion, creating a space where you can feel heard and understood. My EMDR training can also help with your symptoms.

Reaching out is hard and you are on the way to taking your first steps. As a clinician, I recognize the importance of collaboration and the impact it can have on our well-being. Life, indeed, presents its share of difficulties, and having a safe space to explore those challenges is crucial. Unbiased and non-judgmental support is essential, especially when we tend to be overly critical of ourselves. It’s common to feel like some problems are beyond our control, but together, we can navigate them. Whether the issues are big or small, I’m here to join forces with you, working toward your goals and uncovering the possibilities.

I have a very direct yet gentle approach to getting to know who you are and how best to help you break through barriers and other debilitating problems you may be facing.

I work with you to discover new approaches and solutions for the task at hand. I am not traditional, sometimes mouthy, and a bit wacky at times, but I will walk with you through the process until you can walk alone. My heart does get involved at times because being human is all I know.

Sometimes life is like putting furniture together: you have all the pieces, but it can be confusing to know where to start or how to fit everything together. The instructions can be unclear. You may be grappling with self-acceptance, feeling in control, interpersonal conflict, or the weight of past experiences. You need a space to understand yourself better and find your voice, and you desire a path toward a more fulfilling life—one where you can embrace your true identity and move beyond feelings of shame.

I bring a background in healthcare and many years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex life, health, and system-related challenges. Over time, I have worked closely with people navigating not only emotional stress, but also the practical realities that come with illness, aging, caregiving, and major life transitions. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when you are trying to manage appointments, decisions, responsibilities, and emotional strain all at once-often while also being the person other depend on.

Hi there! I'm Sam. Are you an adult who started life carrying more than your share — and somehow never got the chance to put it down?
