About

Hi there! I want to take a moment to commend you for taking this courageous first step in the healing process by beginning your search for a therapist. My name is Sam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents and adults to teach you ways to manage distressing psychological symptoms and to provide a non-judgemental space for you to explore anything - past, present or future. I use a person-centered approach to determine which modality of treatment will be the most effective in assisting you in achieving your goals. I can teach you Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you to tolerate distress, regulate your emotions, create an awareness of how your thoughts influence your behaviors and restructure distorted thinking patterns that cause anxiety and depression. I can use the psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approaches to help you to identify repressed memories from your past and how they have been unconsciously influencing your thoughts and behaviors to this day. I am skilled in Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Group Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Applied Behavioral Analysis, Attachment-Based Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT. I like to make sure that we find time to laugh in therapy and celebrate every victory, no matter how small. When it comes time to tackle the hard stuff, just know that I will be there with you every step of the way. You deserve to feel seen, heard and supported by your therapist. The best predictor of a successful outcome in therapy is the relationship that one has with their therapist and so I invite you to schedule an appointment with me.
