Great to meet you!

Hey there, I'm Sam! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping people experiencing anxiety, depression, life adjustments, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I use solutions-focused and strengths-based approaches, as well as dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. If you're wondering if we'd be a good match, let's chat!

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and humor, as well as a genuine interest in getting to know my clients as a whole person. While it's easy to focus on the "negative" in therapy, it's just as important to focus on the positive, the fun, and the successes.

What you can expect from me

You may leave session with new skills, different perspectives, homework assignments, and recommended resources to help continue growth outside of sessions. For example, someone working on building better habits may leave with recommended reading, a goal to reach by the next session, and a plan we come up with to reach that goal.
