Introduction

Hi! My name is Sam. I am so excited to get to know you and begin our journey together. I take a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to treatment. In today’s world we are overloaded with information and are pulled in every direction. Sometimes this can be overwhelming and make us feel like we are out of control. If this is what you feel, then you have come to the right place. I look to come alongside individuals and families become reconnected and satisfied. Together, we will explore the good and the bad, uncovering areas that you may not even be aware of. I have a PhD in Trauma and Disaster Relief and specialize in trauma (religious trauma, sexual trauma, childhood trauma), anxiety, and OCD. I am trained in EMDR and ERP. I currently offer the options of weekly sessions as well as EMDR Intensive sessions. I can not wait to partner with you as you begin working through your needs. I recognize that therapy can be extremely vulnerable and hard to begin. However, I am here by your side every step of the way. Please contact me today to schedule a free consultation to see if I am the right fit for you.
