He brings valuable experience from his work at an inpatient dual diagnosis treatment center, where he provided comprehensive care to adults managing co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. In this setting, Sam facilitated individual, group, and family/couples therapy, helping clients navigate the complex intersections of addiction, mental health, and relational dynamics.

About Myself:
Life loves to throw us curve balls to test our limits. Sometimes we feel anxious, burnt out, depressed and hurt because transitions are difficult and there is not a manual we can reference to help with the navigation. That's where therapy comes in. I think the most important part of therapy is creating a safe, comforting space where an individual has the freedom to explore their pain, joys and humanity. Think of me as a flashlight, I will shine the light on patterns/experiences throughout your lifetime and you get to choose whether or not we dive deep into the trenches.

 Specializations: 
Sam is particularly passionate about working with individuals who are navigating challenges such as substance abuse, addictive behaviors, depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and internal conflicts. His therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a belief in each person’s capacity for 
growth and change. Whether working with individuals, couples, or families, Sam strives to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful recovery and personal development.
