My name is Samuel, and I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-expression and self-worth. With over a decade of experience, I provide trauma-informed, culturally-responsive care in a holistic and humanistic way. This differentiates me from other clinicians in that I do not focus on diagnosis or "illness", but rather gear therapy towards growth, healing and meeting clients where they're at.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you will feel deeply seen and heard and that someone finally gets you. You will begin to feel clarity, lightness and a grounded sense of positivity around your presenting issues. Working with me is not only a space to vent, but one where you will develop tools & awareness that will support you for the rest of your life. You will feel confident and empowered to navigate not just your current life circumstances but build resilience and develop tools for anything that may come in the future.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach is gentle but direct. I provide a safe, warm environment for you to be seen & heard, and guide you to become the best version of yourself in your relationships, career and life. My work often feels like mentorship in that this is focused on your growth and helping you take authentic, positive actions to improve your life. At times, we will spend the session unpacking stressful situations in your present or past. Other times, I will use specific modalities to facilitate emotional healing and release.
