About

Hi; I’m Sam, and I hope to be your new therapist! It is difficult to prioritize your own needs, but you are taking the first step just by finding my profile. No matter what you are coming to therapy for you are putting yourself first. Together we will work towards continuing to prioritize yourself and your needs. I value collaboration, patience, communication, and empathy in the therapeutic relationship to establish trust and safety. We will discuss different perspectives; identify unpleasant emotions; challenge unhelpful thinking patterns; process trauma / experiences; and much more during our time together. I have experience working with individuals in areas including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, school difficulties, and challenging relationship dynamics. I utilize a person-centered approach, so you are leading the therapy session while I gently guide. I realize this approach is not for everyone, so I am as directive as needed!
