Therapists in Auburn, MA

Life is full of seasons. Some seasons are more turbulent than others. Do you find that you’re losing sleep, or worrying more than usual? Maybe your usual hobbies have taken a backseat, or you’re spending more time alone. You may be struggling with other health issues, or have started ignoring them. Perhaps you've started using substances more often than you'd like to. Or you just don’t understand why no one “gets” you and you wish someone would just try!

"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time" - Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Change will look different for everyone, especially depending on the goals you have set for yourself. Sometimes, the realization that there are other possibilities (and that hope for a better future can even exist) is the very first step. Maybe you have realized that you are ready to explore your potential and to develop more insight into how you are engaging with the world around you. I would be honored to guide you on this journey to increase clarity, self-awareness, and empowerment.

Current weekday availability for online appointments. When you're ready to start therapy, I am here to help. I have experience helping adults from all backgrounds, but have recently been into helping men explore and understand their emotions for the first time.

I am so very proud that you are reaching out for help. I know it is a very daunting process to find a therapist that will fit YOUR needs and YOUR situation. Have you been feeling anxious, run-down, or overwhelmed about school, parenting, or family struggles? Have you started to see mood and behavioral changes in your child that have started to affect aspects of their life? Or are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed and out of control during pregnancy or after having your baby? If you found yourself nodding in agreement to any of those questions, I hope that you will reach out to start your own healing.

Life is full of challenges: from relationships, families, friendships, to school and employment, to general hardships and life stressors. Traumatic experiences, physical and mental health challenges, discrimination, financial strains, etc., can further impact our capacity to live our desired lives. Increasing your ability to understand and work with your unique story can bring you increased happiness, hope, and rewards. My role is to help you or your loved one find the way to a better today through self reflection and understanding, building on present strengths, and developing new ones.

Stress management is a goal for many of us. Whether your stress is related to challenges in intimate relationships, parenting, or a traumatic event, together we will work to enhance your competence in identifying causes of stress in your life, recognizing how you experience stress, and practicing self-regulation strategies.

Currently accepting new clients for in person and virtual appointments (April 2024).

I work with adults across the lifespan who are navigating the variety of unique challenges that life presents–from depression and anxiety, to major life transitions, to serious health concerns and grief. With a background in healthcare (having worked in emergency, critical care, and hospice settings for more than 10 years), I have a particular passion for working with clients facing life challenges at the intersection of physical and mental health, whether that be coping with your own physical and/or mental illness, being a caregiver, dealing with stress and burnout, or grieving a loss.

Treatment is results oriented, which means we work together at the beginning to define the changes that are meaningful to you. In a basic sense, psychotherapy is for thinking about feelings. We are all part of systems, be they family, work or society. The outcome is more freedom to be yourself. All inquiries referrals scheduling by phone: please call 508.885.3861. Repeat your calls (on the hour) to reach me quickest in person. No written messages! No computer inquiries!

I believe that everyone is resilient - and that constantly having to be strong can be exhausting. Through our work together, my goal is to honor that internal strength while also providing space for grieving, healing, and growing. I am passionate about supporting people that have lived through complex trauma and have been navigating their lives in survival mode. I work to help people re-establish a sense of safety within themselves, develop an understanding into how their experiences shaped them, and cultivate meaningful relationships.

Perhaps you are an incredibly caring person who puts other people’s needs first. You enjoy giving your time and energy towards making others feel happy, and perhaps you’ve been playing on the sidelines in your own life. But, you secretly fear you won’t get love or respect back if you did not do so. So perhaps, you keep doing and giving and playing quietly. Truth is, this depletes you and leaves you not living the life you were truly meant to live. As head of household or business, you feel tired, stressed and perhaps not as happy as you’d like to be. And, you’ve neglected your own needs in mind, body and spirit for some time now.

My name is Sam & I’m excited you’re here! I deeply admire what it takes to make the first step in coming to therapy & the vulnerability in truly coming as you are. What's more is my belief in the importance of cultivating a strong, secure counseling partnership upheld by authenticity, rooted in empathy & remains grounded in unconditional positive regard for whoever I sit across from. In 2011, I began my devotion to a career working with children, adults & families with a wide range of strengths, needs & backgrounds in various mental health settings. My focus is in both intensive clinical psychotherapy & family systems counseling.
