Great to meet you!

I'm Sam, I am a therapist, a mom and a human who believes most people aren't "broken"-they're just exhausted from trying to hold everything together. I work with teens, young adults and women who feel stuck between the life they have and the life they thought they'd be living by now. It's too easy to follow a path others set out for you, without questioning if it is even the one you want.

My approach to therapy

I want to help you say all the things you feel like you can't say out loud and sort through all the noise to better understand what's actually going on underneath the overwhelm. I want to help you make changes that feel doable in your actual life and get you closer to who you want to be!

What you can expect from me

I've been a therapist for over 15 years and aside from the above, I also specialize in perinatal and maternal mental health, which is something I care deeply about!

I hope you can feel safe to be who you are with me and I hope to meet you soon!
