Identity: Racial identity formation and stress.
I'm looking to hold space with folks who feel marginalized; who feel overwhelmed; who need to be reminded of their strengths, their hopes and their dreams. If your every day experience is feeling like a slog, let's talk. If you want more out of your life; if you want to reignite sparks, redefine goals, reinvigorate your soul, let's get together. I support affirming and accepting care of all kinds.

As a white woman I continue to work on my own racial identity and bias to better serve people of all backgrounds.
My clients come to therapy because they are looking for support in facing life transitions; they may be dealing with a health diagnosis, new parenting stage, or shifting family dynamics. Often, when life is difficult or not going the way we had planned, we fight against what IS with what we think it should be. My clients want to find joy and purpose in the life they have and are looking for a safe place to explore their life stories to find strength and light. I also work with interracial families on racial identity development and with white folks wanting to do antiracist work while exploring what it means to be white.

Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to uncover the roots of issues such as trauma, behavioral challenges, school challenges, PTSD, depression, family conflicts, anxiety, anger, grief, shame, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. My approach is guided by social justice and trauma-informed frameworks, which recognize the personal and systemic factors affecting a client's life. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive therapeutic space for historically marginalized clients and supporting those experiencing racial trauma or navigating racial identity.

I am dedicated to creating an inclusive therapeutic space for historically marginalized clients and supporting those experiencing racial trauma or navigating racial identity.
My goal is to provide a safe place to explore themes such as gender and racial identity, honoring neurodivergence and chronic conditions, depression and loneliness, anxiety and rumination, pattern recognition and change, and maintaining or reclaiming a sense of self in relational roles.
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.

I focus on the connectedness among developmental, social, relational, and cultural factors. I have experience working with a diverse population of clients, including children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I work with clients dealing with many different issues. I have worked with clients from a myriad of racial and ethnic backgrounds but have focused experience working with Black and Native American clients striving to work through race-related stress and racial identity concerns. I work with sexual identity and gender identity concerns (e.g., trans, questioning, gender non-conforming).

My ideal client is open to new perspectives and ideas. Their goals align with becoming their most authentic and genuine versions of themselves by gaining insight and understanding through telling their story. Human beings need to be reminded that their feelings and experiences are valid and have someone support them as they overcome life's many adversities.

I support clients in reclaiming their power through the use of EMDR. EMDR is an evidence-based theoretical model that shifts the way our nervous systems store trauma. It can be used to support clients struggling with any form of trauma, but I specialize in treating race-related stress and trauma that disrupt individuals' relationships to their own bodies, hearts, and minds. I borrow from Resmaa Menakem, Clinical Social Worker & Trauma Expert. He says, "Trauma is the body's protective response to an event -or a series of event - that it perceives as potentially dangerous," not only to our physical bodies but what we care about.

Are you tired of caretaking for everyone and feeling like no one cares for you? Do you struggle to give yourself the same kindness & compassion that you so easily give to others? Does guilt get in the way of you saying no and setting boundaries? Most of my clients are impacted by these issues and feel helpless in living an abundant life of self-love. My expertise is working with people to find healing and restoration through empowerment, developing insight, and working with the body. I understand how power, oppression, and trauma can contribute to distress and I work to instill hope.

Reaching out can be the most challenging task to engage in. Constant changes and life transitions can leave us feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Relationships can feel strained with our partners, friends, family and even ourselves. Creating space to navigate these life impacts is one way I seek to help clients.
