Blue Shield Therapists in Minneapolis, MN
The human experience can be a complex and confusing burden to exist within at times. We can lose confidence in trusting ourselves, in the choices we make, in understanding our thoughts and feelings, and while navigating all sorts of relationships. I know this all too well, and I am sure you can relate to some degree. I identify as a gay/queer cisgender male, as an addict/alcoholic in long-term recovery, and as a therapist with over 15 years of experience in the mental health profession. I would be honored to share space, listen, and provide guidance while you traverse your own life’s highs, lows, and everything in between.

The clients I work with come from different backgrounds and experiences, each with their own unique challenges and hopes for therapy. Some are navigating relationship struggles, others are processing anxiety, self-doubt, or the impact of past experiences. Whether they seek more fulfilling connections, emotional clarity, or a deeper sense of self-trust, they’re looking for a space where their personal history, culture, and the larger systems they navigate are understood and explored.

Hello and welcome! My name is Sam (they/them), and I am so happy you're here. As a queer and non-binary identified provider, I honor how painstakingly difficult it is to exist under oppressive systems, let alone thrive. It can be isolating and scary to navigate this world alone, and I do not think you should have to. Drawing on humanistic and person-centered models of care, I aim to create a non-judgmental and empathetic space where you can bravely define what being your best self means to you. As an artist, I understand creativity's healing, grounding nature and provide art supplies for client use in sessions.

I work with individuals who seek to better understand themselves and how they interact with the world. My job is to build meaningful connections with my patients so that I can identify relational patterns that contribute to depression and anxiety, guilt, overwhelm and shame. I have learned that how we chose to relate to caregivers in childhood influences how we create and maintain relationships in adulthood. I help patients become aware of the cycle that is being unconsciously repeated so that they can eventually exercise choice to change.

Whether clients are looking for support and encouragement to maximize strengths or need assistance in dealing with a wide variety of psychological issues, effective therapy begins with the formation of a relationship. I place an emphasis on meeting patients where they are, which includes taking into account environmental factors, culture, ethnicity, and family/interpersonal history. Then, collaborating together to understand goals, assets, and challenges in order to create a plan to solve problems and increase understanding. By integrating various theoretical approaches and utilizing current research from psychology and neuroscience, my goal is to provide effective individualized treatment.
