Vulnerability: while rewarding, can be daunting. It isn’t easy to let someone into your internal landscape and I value the possibility of learning yours. My name is Sam and I work with clients to become intimately comfortable with the buried and beautifully impactful aspects of themselves. Often, the relationship to yourself contributes to how your days unfold in the world around you. When was the last time you heard or nurtured the parts of yourself that long for you? In doing so, a gateway opens up to a sense of self-worth that will allow you to experience yourself and your environment with a new lens.

Welcome to a safe space for black women, indigenous women, women of color and our allies. It is important to recognize that cultural factors can impact how conditions are experienced and treated. For example, research has shown that individuals from BIPOC racial and ethnic backgrounds may be less likely to seek mental health treatment due to cultural stigma, lack of access to care, or mistrust of healthcare providers. As a black doctor with cultural understanding, I am uniquely positioned to address these barriers and provide culturally sensitive care for women with ADHD, Anxiety, Obesity and Professional Burnout.

I work with clients who are burned out. I understand the challenges that come with overwhelming responsibilities while coping with unsupportive conditions. My clients have important work, school, or family responsibilities they can't just walk away from, but they need new tools or approaches to manage their lives so that they can thrive.

My approach blends DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused brief therapy, somatic practice, and mindfulness.
Clients often come to me after feeling like they've hit a wall — traditional talk therapy hasn't fully addressed what's happening in their body and nervous system, or they've cycled through providers who didn't feel equipped. Many of my clients carry a trauma history and struggle with significant emotional dysregulation, whether that shows up as intense anger, self-destructive patterns, or feeling overwhelmed by their own internal experience. I'm currently expanding my focus to work more with complex trauma and ADHD, alongside my longstanding experience treating suicidal ideation, self-harm, and borderline personality disorder.

I integrate evidence-based approaches, including DBT and mindfulness techniques, to help clients process difficult experiences, improve relationships, develop coping skills, and move toward their goals.
I work with adolescents (12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and identity concerns. Many clients seek therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. Others seek support as they navigate adoption-related issues, cultural identity, spiritual trauma, or relationship difficulties. As a Korean adoptee, I have a special interest in supporting adoptees and those exploring identity, belonging, culture, and family relationships. Together, we build on strengths, develop coping skills, and create lasting change.
