My father took us to Mexico and supplied families with food, shelter, and clothing, started a medical clinic, and provided an ambulance. He was a natural social worker, and I caught the bug. I enjoy hearing people's stories and working with them to use their strengths to make their lives better. I have worked i hospital settings, IOP, out patient settings.
I let the clients tell me about themselves, what brought them to counseling, and how I can help.
I like to hear what the client's strengths are and build on those to help them look at possible solutions. I want the client to feel supported and have a relaxed therapeutic relationship. I ask the client how I can help and how they will know when they no longer need counseling. What will be in their life and what will they be doing?
I have worked with cancer patients, Alzheimer's, anxiety, substance abuse, domestic violence, adolescents, postpartum challenges, epilepsy, grief, work-related stress, divorce, LGBTQIA and transgender clients, and inner child work.

What I really liked about Sam was she asked the right questions and she listened and I felt very comfortable with her. I was worried about finding the right fit and she actually met the right criteria and I felt very comfortable. I’m so excited to continue therapy to get help from my marriage.
