Hi there! My name is Sam. I am a trained person-centered therapist with 4 years of clinical experience working with clients of all ages. In my practice I use modalities and techniques including child-centered play therapy for children, along with talk therapy and expressive arts therapies for adolescents and adults. Depending on your needs, we may work on things like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, communication techniques, as well as crisis and trauma healing. I have a wide range of experience working with various client concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

Accepting New Clients. You’ve come to the right place! Asking for help with your personal healing takes courage and strength. If you are struggling with life transitions, relationships, or experiencing a sense of powerlessness and feeling disconnected, you are not alone. Together, we will explore how you can best heal and thrive!

Are you or a family member feeling stuck? Together we can uncover new solutions. I'll work creatively and collaboratively with you to find pathways out of those difficult places, both within you and in your relationships. Perhaps you have a child or teen who's experiencing anxiety or fears, or you are experiencing sadness and stress personally or with a partner or family member. Together we'll find solutions as we tap into your inherent strengths and the potential strengths in your relationships.

Wanting change? I am a licensed professional counselor, trauma healing wilderness therapist, coach, and men's group facilitator. I believe we have 1 life to live. My passion is helping you discover your way to live as fully and happily as possible. It is important to me that you experience progress, so I work hard with you wherever you are at in your struggles. My approach is both sensitive but masculine so that you feel safe and unpressured while bravely examining your inner blocks. Together we create action plans that help you apply your insights and get the most out of our work together. We go as deep as you feel ready to go.

I am dedicated to working with people who want to get at the roots of their emotional pain and distress. My fundamental approach to treatment is relational. Therapy is a process where we will develop an alliance in which your emotional and developmental needs are made a priority. Over time, an internalized healing space forms where you can recover access to parts of your true self. Speaking freely without unnecessary self-censorship may be simple, but it is not easy. I encourage you to try it.

Are you tired of traveling down the same road and are looking for a new beginning? Are you not feeling good enough and would like to regain your sense of self? Are you feeling worried? Are you ready to heal your past wounds? We offer a safe, non-judgmental place for all individuals to discover their own path based on our 6 values trust, integrity, respect, professionalism, vulnerability and advocacy.

I can help you get to the 'heart' of the challenges and issues you're dealing with and make the lasting changes you’re longing for. Having been in practice over 40 years, I'm a seasoned therapist and have the tools and experience to resolve whatever is 'up' for you. I've found that 'talk therapy' is often not enough to resolve many difficulties, so I use a variety of effective approaches, uniquely adjusted to match each client's needs. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize Brainspotting; EMDR; Body Centered therapy; Meditative approaches and Hypnotherapy.

Are you experiencing repeated conflicts with a child, spouse, or partner and would like some help with communication problems? Have you experienced childhood or adult trauma or abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual)? Do you experience episodes of depression, hyperactivity, mania (decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, more talkative, unusually more productive)? Maybe you have concentration and/or attention difficulties, don't seem to be able to finish projects, or have good organization skills. Have you or someone close to you noticed issues related to addiction or dependence (compulsive behaviors) on alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, internet or computer games, or even work or sex?

Many parents/caregivers have questions regarding their child’s development, behavior, or academic performance, while others are seeking guidance and support. Some parents/caregivers are referred by a teacher, pediatrician, medical specialist, or psychotherapist, but are uncertain as to why their child needs a neuropsychological evaluation. Regardless of what brought your family to our practice, feel comfort in knowing that you have come to the right place and that our team is dedicated to helping you reach your goals.

I believe that one of the most important components to good therapy is a safe, attuned environment where you can receive strategic support in hearing your own voice. Often, we dismiss our voice or intuition. Therapy can be a place to allow our true emotions to be expressed, enabling us to hear what we may not be listening to in our everyday life. Together, we will uncover the often unspoken and align with your true values. My approach to counseling is collaborative and strengths-based.

Are you looking for a therapist who understands queer identities and experiences of mental health? Are you hoping to heal the different parts of yourself and live a more fulfilling life? I'm here to help LGBTQ+ folks like you find self-acceptance, queer joy, and a fully integrated, connected self.

It's hard to ask for help, and talking can only get us so far. Our bodies carry memories, feelings, and experiences that don't always make sense or that we are unable to express through words. Stress and overwhelm is literally stored in the body in the form of pain, tension, numbness, and dissociation. By giving our body a voice we can reshape our nervous system through self awareness and skill building for greater ease in connection with ourselves and others.

Cultivating joy and healthy habits requires creating a consistent space to practice and learn new ways of being. Did you know your mind is more wired to produce anxiety and depression than joy? There is nothing wrong with you! You just didn't learn the skills that generate more joy, calm and acceptance; this is what leads to long-term fulfillment and happiness. Burnout, abandoning your dreams, anxiety, overwhelm, feeling lost, an extra glass of wine-all can lead to a vicious cycle of not feeling good. I can help you break that cycle. Integrating the body, breath practices, and neuroscience into therapy helps bring lasting changes.

Maybe this is your first time in therapy, and you don't know what to expect. Or maybe you've tried many times, but it feels like nothing has worked. Either way, I think I have something unique to offer you. I use both nature and technology to enhance the effectiveness of therapy. This combination yields positive results in many different areas including ADHD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, dissociation, anger management, self-esteem, and more.

"Many people just like you experience challenges in their lives. I will work with you to understand the unique problems you are facing and help you develop some thoughts and habits that will create a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life. You may understand how thoughts, feelings and behavior interact and impact your relationships and merely need a caring and objective person to support you in making the best use of your knowledge, experience and resources. Whether you are alone or have support of family and friends, I can assist you in achieving your goals.

Do repetitive thoughts or habits preoccupy you, consume valuable time, or alienate you from others? If so, you may have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD. If you have questions about OCD or its treatment - for yourself or someone you know - please contact me. I have specialized in helping people with OCD since 2002. OCD 'triggers' are often more severe in someone's home environment, and symptoms can make it especially difficult to attend outside appointments, so I work with people in their own homes and communities in addition to meetings at my office.

To lose faith in yourself, the future, the healing force of the human spirit is a terrible tragedy. In my work with adolescents and adults, our task is to re-ignite that vital life force. Through reexamining the past we remove old blocks, make sense of today's issues and work through self-destructive patterns. My training in Humanistic Psychotherapy and Jungian studies,EMDR, Family Systems Theory and Focusing enable me to draw from a wide range of interventions and interpretations. I also have worked extensively in the realm of addictions and eating disorders using a 12 step model.

Are you looking for additional support in your life? Trying to find new solutions to old problems? Or, simply trying to work through a difficult life transition? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical training and experience providing support to individuals, couples and groups. I have experience working with addiction to drugs and/or alcohol, binge eating, purging behaviors, restricting food intake or not eating at all, feelings of distress around food and body image, low self-esteem, feelings of anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and loss.

Everyone needs support from time to time. I work with clients to find answers to questions surrounding relationships, sadness and day to day intentional living. As a Jungian therapist, our work may involve exploration of imagery and pattern and your individual expression. We may utilize dreams, sand and other techniques to access the unconscious, as well as some traditional methods all to address anxiety and depression. I am dedicated to assisting anyone on this journey with the support they need to achieve their individual goals in overall wellness.
