LCSW, 4 years of experience
Hi, I’m Doctor Samuel, a mental health professional here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, ADHD symptoms or simply feeling stuck this is a space where you don’t have to go through it alone. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach grounded in Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means we’ll work together to understand what’s going on, identify what’s working, and build on your natural strengths to create meaningful, lasting shifts. In our work, we’ll focus on practical tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions, develop healthier thought patterns, and create more balance in your daily life. You'll also gain deeper emotional and self-awareness to support your personal growth. Therapy with me is not about fixing you because you’re not broken. It’s about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to navigate life in a way that feels more aligned and grounded. If you’re ready to take that first step toward positive change, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where your story matters. We’ll take time to explore what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and how I can best support you. This is a space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences are met with respect, curiosity, and care. I’ll ask some thoughtful questions to get a better sense of your background, what’s been feeling challenging lately, and what strengths you already have even if you’re not fully aware of them yet. Together, we’ll start shaping a clear path forward, identifying goals that feel meaningful to you and exploring practical strategies we might use along the way. By the end of our first session, my hope is that you’ll leave with a sense of clarity, hope, and a better understanding of how therapy can support your healing, growth, and the changes you want to create in your life.
As a therapist, one of my greatest strengths is creating a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I believe that healing happens in relationships built on trust, openness, and mutual respect and I’m deeply committed to fostering that kind of connection with each person I work with. I bring specialized training in Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows me to offer practical, evidence-based tools tailored to your unique needs and goals. Whether we’re working through tough emotions or building skills for lasting change, I focus on approaches that are both compassionate and effective. I’m also dedicated to ongoing learning and staying current with the latest research so that the care I provide is grounded in both heart and science. More than anything, I’m passionate about helping people tap into their own resilience, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward meaningful growth at a pace and path that feels right for them.
I’m especially well-suited to support individuals who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-worth, overwhelming emotions, school or work-related stress, ADHD symptoms, relationship struggles, and unhelpful thought patterns that feel hard to break. I work best with people who are ready to take intentional steps toward change even if they’re not quite sure what those steps look like yet. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just want to feel more grounded and confident, therapy with me is a collaborative space where we’ll explore practical tools, build self-awareness, and create sustainable growth together. My style is empowering, down-to-earth, and tailored to your unique strengths and goals. If you’re open to working together to shift your mindset, strengthen your coping strategies, and move toward a more fulfilling life I’m here to help guide that process with care and clarity.
CBT involves collaboration between the therapist and the client to pinpoint problematic thoughts and behaviors, analyze their origins and consequences, and develop strategies to replace them with more adaptive ones.
Integrative individual therapy combines diverse approaches for personalized treatment tailored to each client's needs and goals.
Solution-focused brief therapy is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and amplifying solutions rather than dwelling on problems, fostering rapid and lasting change through a collaborative and future-oriented mindset.
