Hi! I'm Sam, and here at Dandelion Counseling I hope to support you through all stages of life from bud to fluff with humility and kindness. I believe all humans deserve respect, and the ability to be supported in their journey of life. I hope to provide a place for individuals I work with to feel safe, affirmed, and to move through each length of their journey in their own way. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14+ years of experience in counseling and therapy. I enjoy working with teens and adults, as well as anyone who is open to making changes in their life. I am strengths-based and person-centered.

I have 14 years of clinical experience, and am a LPC (Licensed Practical Counselor), and LBS (Licensed Behavior Specialist). I encourage an individualized approach to each person, and that we work together as a team. I am trained and proficient in several modalities to include CBT, Person-Centered approaches, ERPT, ACT, iCBT, Existential, and Narrative Therapy. Ultimately my goal is to meet you where you stand, and walk along side you.

When I work with individuals I like the first session to be left for them. To give space for them to tell their story, to communicate their needs, and goals. My personal goal is to provide a warm, and comfortable environment for the humans I work with to feel comfortable. My hope is to always work collaboratively, with the folks I spend time with and encouraging them to take the lead in charting their next adventure. Each session is different, and based on the person's need at the time of session, as well as addressing goals outlined from the previous session.
