I'm happy to help clients recognize their struggles and the importance of seeking support. I am seeking clients who are motivated to improve their lives and understand that therapy and a willingness to change can lead to growth and improvement in their mental health. With these foundations in place, we can develop clear goals centered around reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health issues.

I offer guidance and support for each person to make empowered choices to create renewal, balance and freedom in life. I offer insight, and a non-judgmental environment to support, and teach skills necessary for growth.

I am passionate about helping people to overcome challenges and live fulfilling lives. I practice a systemic approach that emphasizes the development of the self and how people are influenced by their family and cultural background, community, friends, and relationships. I believe this is the best approach to get to the root of the problem, gain clarity, and to make meaningful, lasting changes.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me your mental health therapist. ​Are you experiencing a significant life transition (ie. divorce, loss of a loved one, etc)? Based on personal experiences, I know how difficult it can be to reach out for help. No one knows your life better than yourself and while it is true that no one else can do the inner work for you, that does not mean you have to do it alone. ​ ​ Finding a skilled therapist is important; someone with whom you can establish a collaborative and trusting relationship.

I have several after-school appointments available

Are you struggling to navigate through life challenges? Are you feeling misunderstood by family or friends? Do you engage in destructive behaviors? Do you lack interest in formerly enjoyed activities? Regardless of the circumstance, I. C. Solutions will support you in overcoming your problems.

My name is Sam & I’m excited you’re here! I deeply admire what it takes to make the first step in coming to therapy & the vulnerability in truly coming as you are. What's more is my belief in the importance of cultivating a strong, secure counseling partnership upheld by authenticity, rooted in empathy & remains grounded in unconditional positive regard for whoever I sit across from. In 2011, I began my devotion to a career working with children, adults & families with a wide range of strengths, needs & backgrounds in various mental health settings. My focus is in both intensive clinical psychotherapy & family systems counseling.

I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth between the hours of 8-2 M-F. I have 20+ years of experience working with children, families, and adults from all walks of life who are working on a wide variety of personal and interpersonal concerns. I borrow from a variety of therapeutic interventions to help others deal with the difficulties they are facing.

Everyone hopes to find a Therapist they will match well with in terms of personality and professional style, especially when they are suffering. Deep listening, compassion, and promotion of self-care and coping are values at the center of my practice. I attune topics and activities toward those that the client is most interested in exploring. Integrated Relational Therapy is the holistic, versatile framework that I use to meet teen and adult clients "where they're at" to address issues like trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, and addiction; through individual, family, and couples counseling.

Now accepting new clients! When challenges in life become overwhelmingly difficult, it can sometimes feel impossible to overcome them alone. Whether it be anxiety, stress, problematic relationships, or a blurred sense of identity, I am here to help. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space that will allow you to discuss and work through your problems without judgment. My approach to therapy is to provide empathic understanding, authenticity, and acceptance to collaboratively address your concerns!

Whether you are facing relational tension, a personal obstacle, or need career advice, every single person needs a place where they feel safe to talk honestly and openly about their life. For many people, mental health professionals provide that safe space where they can regain perspective, clarify their goals, and create a path forward. The counselors, coaches, and therapists at Handel Behavioral Health provide such a space for many clients. During their time, many clients cultivate their self-awareness, examining—with courage and honesty—their strengths and weaknesses.

Facing change can be overwhelming. As I guide people through the process, I operate from a place of compassion, authenticity, and empathy. This may look different depending on the problems at hand. With addiction, I hold clients accountable to following through with their recovery plan. I do not shy away from defenses, manipulation, or games played by the addicted mind. With mental health problems, I tend to follow my client’s lead, offering support and suggestions/techniques grounded in science, research, and my experience. I also specialize in treating family members with loved ones struggling with addiction recover on their own.
