Experienced therapy with the goal of lasting, transformative change.
Are you struggling with relationships? Do you need help recovering from a traumatic event? Do you often feel sad and low on energy? Are you searching for ways to be more emotionally stable and less shut down? For over 25 years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on a range of issues including substance abuse, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, codependency, couples counseling, pre-marital counseling and more. In a highly personalized and collaborative treatment style, I help people understand the deeper reasons for why difficulties keep repeating over and over.
I believe that our lives are a mixture of physical, environmental, relational, psychological, and spiritual elements so my treatment approach looks at how these factors affect your life. In my practice I use selected techniques from the areas of cognitive behavioral therapy, existentialism, Gestalt, humanistic, transpersonal and 12 step programs. Transformation occurs when we suspend our preconceived ideas long enough to examine our situation and understand the underlying factors that contribute to who we are. I can guide you through this process to achieve lasting change.

"Having battled depression for most of my adult life, at times even seeking the help of counselors, this past year I arrived at a new and different low point. I was coping with a level of unhappiness, doubt, and helplessness I had never before experienced. It was a genuine crisis. Despite the fact I didn't want to be in therapy because of how past experiences had seemed so futile, I eventually opened up to the idea and managed to connect with Sam. It was a gift and one that surprised me. Over the next several weeks Sam and myself would meet, and after each session I'd feel so much better, stronger and my mind began to clear. I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He has mastered the art and science of counseling. His comprehensive knowledge, insight and genuine empathy are quite evident. He has made a difference in my life for which I am extremely grateful." ~ V.
