Hi there, I'm Sam! Reaching out for support is a step in the right direction towards a happy and healthy lifestyle. As a therapist, I am passionate about empowering my clients to make positive life changes. My focus is to provide a non-judgmental and professional setting, fostering a balance of confidentiality, empathy, and productivity. I use an integrative approach of therapeutic styles including Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered counseling. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and stress management. I have experience with adults and pediatrics in the criminal justice system, inpatient detox, crisis stabilization, and outpatient settings. These areas of work give me the experience of being a well-rounded clinician. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in social work through the University of South Florida and am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker through the state of Florida.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session I will collect as much information you are willing to share with me, so we can collaboratively create a treatment plan for you. We will create goals and discuss areas you would like to feel improvement in your own life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Your treatment will be viewed as person-centered. I want you, the client, to be as involved in your treatment as possible. I want you to feel comfortable during sessions and be excited to achieve the goals you set for yourself.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I feel my biggest strengths come from creating a professional therapeutic rapport with my clients. I work hard to create a space where my clients feel comfortable at their most vulnerable moments.
