Welcome! As humans, we are all on a path of healing and growing. We are born with intrinsic worth, but through painful experiences, we internalize untruths. Our work is about creating a new truth by trimming the pain that keeps you stuck in shame, toxic relational patterns, negative thoughts, unhealthy habits and loss of purpose. Collaboration is the foundation of my work. Humans are the experts in their lives, but I do have experience and training in how to help people make the changes they desire, as well as providing compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental care.

The world is changing, and so are we. Maybe this presents itself as feelings of depression, anxiety, or confusion, fear, or judgment. You may have thoughts of “giving up” or feeling “stuck” while wanting to move forward yet lacking resources do so. Life is a journey and all the tools you need are within you, maybe it’s hard to tap into them right now. There are so many things you can do to flourish in life. You can find clarity, security and confidence in yourself and develop compassion for your inner-critic, while you create healthy connections within yourself, your relationships and your life. I can assist with virtual sessions.

We are living in tender times. Many of us are undergoing internal shifts and personal transformations while the world at large is also shifting beneath our feet. Working together, we can find ways to cope creatively with life's many challenges. My work is inspired by each individual client’s unique potential for wholeness. I enjoy working with individuals on issues of gender, sexuality, relationships, intimacy, spirituality, wellness and authenticity. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly & aware. My other areas of competence include anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment to life transitions.

The past few years have been a time of growth, change, and unpredictability for many people. Perhaps now you are looking for a space to connect with yourself - to delve into both practical concerns and inner work. As an LGBTQ+ therapist with a commitment to antiracism, I am dedicated to creating a shared space that fosters courage, healing, and authenticity. Building trust in ourselves and others is at the heart of this work. With an open mind, I am prepared to work together to identify your personal goals and co-create a plan. There is no perfect time to begin, and I welcome you to come as you are.

My goal is to provide a safe and healthy environment where children, teens, adults, couples and families can open up, share and find help in regards to personal struggles and trauma that occur throughout the life span. I am a Christian who counsels and have 17 years of experience. I work helping those who struggle with the tangled web of interpersonal conflicts who have limited insight about their struggles whether those relationship are with significant other, in marriage,home, work, or with peers. My passion is to help people find their purpose. Accepting new referrals.

I believe in the power of the therapist-patient relationship, and providing a safe, confidential environment, free of judgment, and built on respect. My practice rests on a foundation that all people have unique gifts and challenges; we are all worthy of peace and fulfillment.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. I know this is hard because you’re not usually a reacher outer. You're existing in spaces with people all around you but you feel small, maybe invisible. You’re disconnected from your own body, your desires, your partner(s), and your community. You feel frazzled and fragmented and flat-out exhausted. You also have an inkling, a knowing that somewhere inside you there is another way but you haven't learned to trust your knowing yet. You don't want to keep doing what you've always done, but have no idea how to go forward.

Even though transitions are a part of all of our lives, they sometimes stir up old pain or are just too overwhelming to navigate without some help. You deserve the time and support to work through it and counseling can provide that for you. I believe in a person centered, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral and strength based counseling approach. I have over 17 years of experience using these approaches working with individuals of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, chronic illnesses and transitions at all stages of life.

It's difficult when you feel alone, and you are not sure who you can talk to. Especially when you have been hurt in the past, & have felt misunderstood when you tried to communicate how you felt. You want someone who will listen to you without judging or criticizing you and who recognizes everything you have been through. You want to feel seen, heard, valued, and cared for. You're hoping that therapy will help you to build a life that you feel is worth living for. You want every day to feel a little bit easier and to not be in so much pain. I want to help you meet the goals that you have for your life and meet you where you are at.

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.

Taking steps toward change is not always easy. I believe we are capable of change given the opportunity and courage to do so. My approach is collaborative and I tailor my work to meet your needs, personality, and cultural factors. I believe in meeting people where they are at to help them heal, grow, and achieve the personal changes they want to make. My style is warm and approachable, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment.

My passion is helping others find ways to manage their challenges in this ever-changing journey we call life. For over 27 years I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families in a variety of settings; including home, school, office, and in the community. I pride myself in building therapeutic relationships with each individual I work with. By achieving this, I believe we can then work together to help identify what is challenging you currently to get you to the life you choose to live successfully.

Are you overwhelmed by life and not sure how to get through another day? Troubled by the past and not sure how to resolve it? Is anxiety, depression, or grief the main feelings you experience on a daily basis? Do you want to be content and free from worry? To enjoy life to it's fullest?

Maybe you've been diagnosed with a long term illness or have had symptoms for years and at times you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You know these health struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone…like no one understands. Right now, you may have more questions than answers, but one thing you know for sure is that you’d do anything to get your life back. You grieve for the person you used to be and find it hard to imagine yourself living a worthwhile life with this illness trying to drag you down every chance it gets. (Due to demand, I ONLY accept clients with chronic illness concerns)

I believe all people generally have the resources to help themselves, yet sometimes simply need a safe, trustworthy professional to help work through issues, identify goals, make healthy decisions and take steps necessary to live life more fully. I use an integrative approach that draws largely from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions-focused and cognitive behavioral theories. I recognize and respect the fact that individuals have widely varying perspectives and needs. Lastly, I am fully virtual and offer either phone or video sessions.

I do put my heart into my work as a Clinical Social Worker/Therapist. I greet you where you are at, walk alongside you as you journey through your life, and help you gain useful coping tools to navigate your way. It is important for me to create space for you to feel comfortable and be open. I want you to reach your goals, feel my support and compassion, know you are safe and can feel at home.
