I see myself as an intuitive, creative, informed, and highly trained Clinical Psychologist that provides a safe, nonjudgmental, and transformative environment. Therapy with me fosters a deep sense of engagement and connection, a sense of feeling heard and understood, and clarity where there was previously ambiguity. This work is active, penetrating, and engaging. Together, we will create a climate of discovery where you will feel heard, while also experiencing my active participation and direction. Many of my clients are high-achieving, bi-coastal creatives and professionals.

You see yourself as a high-achieving person, but there are parts of your life that feel unbalanced. Perhaps there are self-destructive behaviors that are getting out of control. Or your relationships may be causing you grief. There may also be an empty feeling or nagging fears under the surface. Even if you are accustomed to solving things yourself, this may be the time to reach out for help from a professional who specializes in working with high-functioning clients like yourself. I offer a rare combination of two decades of experience in the MIT/tech world with substantial training as a psychotherapist.

ATTENTION FAMILIES AND COUPLES: Are you and your partner struggling with communication? Do you find that you argue about things that are seemingly insignificant? Has your relationship evolved into a power struggle? There may be triggers in your relationships that create conflict that you simply are not aware. I can help to lower the reactivity and to help bring back the love and understanding you once had. Learn to disagree safely. Communication skills are my specialty. My Passion are those couples that are from different backgrounds or from different countries, biracial or where there is a significant age difference.

Are you stuck, unable to move forward in your life? I believe that we as human beings are resilient, and that, when we find ourselves stuck unable to move forward in our lives, it's important to seek guidance outside ourselves to unravel and breakfree from whatever is blocking our inner light. I am here to assist you to unravel and break free from whatever is blocking your inner light from shining.

Hi, welcome, I’m Sam. If you’re researching online and are on this website reading this, you’re likely truly ready for support. I invite you to reach out. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy and of course welcome people of all sexualities/gender identities. I also see people on reproductive journeys using assisted reproduction. I offer a warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space. Our work together will invite you to find a way forward, with your soul as guide. I will also provide clinical tools to assist going forward. We do this in a collaborative fashion, where I meet each individual client/clients where they are at.

When you get to a point in life where you feel stuck whether it is a relationship, work, or overwhelm in multiple domains of life, therapy can make a crucial difference in helping you move forward. When avoidance, white-knuckling, deep introspection on your own or other strategies you have tried do not provide the result you want, try therapy. If you are seeking some relief from painful feelings, or looking for help to change unhelpful or unwanted patterns in your life, or want a greater sense of meaningfulness and fulfillment, I commend you for taking the step of seeking support. Contact me for a free 15-minute call.

I truly enjoy working with clients who are seeking understanding of themselves and wanting to create some change in their lives. I also understand that true intimacy is created from the client-patient relationship, therefore it is tantamount to find the right therapist that you (the patient) feels safe/comfortable enough to say anything that is needed in order to illicit insight/change. I ask that all my clients outline specific therapeutic goals so that together we be clear as to our purpose and stay the course of treatment. I am client-focused and open to feedback since treatment is made for the client.

Feelings, feelings, feelings. They can be complex painful, rewarding, and sometimes, confusing. Sometimes those feelings and emotions consume us, other times we avoid them either way; they affect us. In this space, I hope to help guide your understanding of what you are experiencing. To acknowledge triggers, and normalize some of your behaviors without excusing them. In all, my goal as a therapist is to create an environment where you feel listened too and important .

I work with clients in a trusting, supportive space — helping individuals and couples fully explore the present by identifying triggers from their past. Together, we explore patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you, and help to create healthier ways forward through a holistic, collaborative approach. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, dating, codependency, grief, cultural identity, and life transitions; and I approach therapy with empathy, humor, and respect for each client’s individual needs. My role is to help you create a greater sense of well-being and self-love. Let’s see what is possible!

I specialize in working with adults whom are struggling with an array of mental health needs and relational impairments related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, addiction, anger/aggression, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, self-esteem, and motivation. I am committed to providing my clients with a safe space to explore their inner experience(s) and the impact it has on their current functioning and overall well-being.
