Hi, I'm Sam! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys helping individuals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, disordered eating/body image difficulties, or religious trauma. I also enjoy working with individuals experiencing life transitions, relationship changes, and the LGBTQIA+ population. This is not an exhaustive list of my specialties, so if you don't see yourself in this list, please don't hesitate to reach out for help. You may be a good fit if you hold yourself to high standards or notice negative self-talk. Perhaps you feel constantly anxious or "on edge." Perhaps you feel uncomfortable in your body and are seeking a healthier relationship with food. If you find yourself in a place where you're seeking some guidance and a sense of control over the difficult and uncomfortable emotions that accompany these experiences, you are in the right place! Clients find me to be warm, encouraging, and compassionate. Pulling from my professional and lived experiences, I aim to provide a space in which my clients feel comfortable, safe, and understood. I value and incorporate diverse perspectives, intuitive eating, and Health At Every Size into my work with clients. As someone who has navigated my own mental health journey, I care deeply about those who are struggling with their mental health and find immense purpose helping clients overcome challenges in their lives. If you are feeling ready to prioritize your mental health journey, please reach out. I can't wait to meet you and start working together!
