Great to meet you!

Sam is an LMFT, certified sex therapist, trained EFT couples therapist, adjunct psychology professor, & workshop facilitator. Her approach to therapy work is both clinical and creative, is mindful, body-centric, and nervous system focused. She orients her work towards connecting to the sensational and spiritual depth of our somatic & psychological experience, that is for both couples as well as individuals.

My approach to therapy

Sam's approach to therapy work is attachment & nervous system based and rooted in the somatic experience of the body. She is challenging and direct, inquisitive, culturally sensitive and aware, and takes the work layers deeper than the contents of the mind- beneath the stories and conditioning to the core of what is authentic for each person. She works with EFT, somatic therapy, sex therapy, mindfulness, & psychodynamic - attachment framework to get to the root cause of symptoms.

What you can expect from me

Our work together is collaborative. We craft a blueprint for what you desire to attain in our work together. Your commitment is contingent on how deep we go together. I'm present & in the room with you, as an ally, someone to challenge you- at times, lend a gentle push to go deeper. To heal is to be in the allowing of yourself. To touch your most authentic depths. It's what moves me in this work and is the environment I create with my clients. Warm, personable, deep, with a challenging edge.
