I deeply believe in our innate drives toward healing. At times we need support to find our way along this path; this is where therapy can help. I employ a collaborative approach to develop curiosity and compassion for one’s whole self. In therapy we tune into the body’s wisdom, foster acceptance of our present selves, and reshape narratives of our past.

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you. The choice to start therapy isn’t always easy, sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do is to even consider it, then admit you want/need it before even taking the steps to start, but you are not alone on this journey. Perhaps there has been times that you have found yourself feeling stressed, down, lacking confidence, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you. Perhaps you’re ready to take steps toward changes but feel stuck or unsure where to start. Or even feeling lost in your relationships in life or even disconnected from them.

I believe that what often causes the most pain is this: while we are generally doing the best that we can, our best just isn't good enough. This kind of situation creates frustration and despair and can lead to giving up or giving in. Further, when we keep the issue to ourselves, or confide in others who may be well-meaning but are similarly emotionally connected, we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to see different perspectives, learn new coping skills, and to either improve the situation (if that's possible) or accept it in a way that brings peace rather than pain. I work with clients to explore all of these strategies.

For that reason, I'm trained in EMDR, and incorporate it as a tool for clients to process trauma more effectively.
Hi, I'm Sam! I offer a warm, empathic, and nonjudgmental space for clients. As a queer person myself, I have a passion for working with queer, trans, and gender-expansive clients. I know how important a good therapeutic experience is, as my own positive experiences in therapy inspired me to become a counselor. In sessions, I have an integrative, trauma-informed approach that relies heavily on psychodynamic and multicultural theories. This means that I practice traditional talk therapy, but with a deeper understanding of social, cultural, and systemic impacts on the client.

If you feel stuck in the same patterns, whether in relationships, anxiety, or how you see yourself, you are not alone. Many people I work with are insightful and self-aware, yet still find themselves repeating cycles they don’t fully understand or can’t seem to change.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
