Hi! My name is Sam. I enjoy working with adolescents (14+), young adults, and adults. Some of my specialties include depression, anxiety, impulsivity, difficulties with emotional regulation, and life transitions. I also specialize in working with clients with suicidal ideation and relationship issues. If you are someone who needs tools and strategies to help you tolerate life's challenges I can teach you CBT and DBT skills to make it through. Together we can bring purpose and joy back into your life.
My therapeutic style is a mix of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I intend to create a safe space in session to explore and process any emotions that you experience and teach you coping skills and mechanisms to help you manage those difficult emotions throughout the week.
I encourage my clients to show up as their true selves, and I also strive to be real and genuine with you. I might swear, hold space for your emotions, break down the juiciest gossip, or tell you the hard truth. I love incorporating humor and jokes into sessions and talking about current trends and memes.

I work with clients who struggle with managing emotions and experience conflict in friendships or relationships. During our initial sessions, we will identify main issues and collaborate on a plan to improve your quality of life. The first few sessions may be difficult, but most clients see immense benefit in continuing treatment and solidifying what you learned in therapy.
