Hi! I'm Sam, I hope to support you through all stages of life with humility and kindness. I believe all humans deserve respect, and the ability to be supported in their journey of life. I hope to provide a place for those work with to feel safe, affirmed, and to move through each length of their journey in their way. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14+ years of experience in counseling and therapy. I enjoy working with adults, teens, as well as anyone who is open to change, or seeking support in their life. I'm strengths-based and person-centered in my approach.
Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.
I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.
I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).
