“One of the most incredible gifts we can offer ourselves is the curiosity and courage to look inward. I like to think of our bodies as our homes, but sometimes we can get lost and struggle to find our way back. As your therapist, it is an honor to join you in your learning as you find your way home, back into your body.”

Working with Sam
Therapy is a perfect setting to learn more about ourselves and how to process conflict, build trust, and learn to lead with curiosity rather than judgment or shame. Sam prioritizes building a genuine and secure therapeutic relationship, which they believe is foundational to building more meaningful and secure connections in their clients’ lives. Their goal is to help clients feel safe being vulnerable and honest with themselves and others and empowered to explore what pleasure, sexuality, and eroticism means for them.
Personal Interests
In their spare time, Sam enjoys fiber arts, their many cats, cooking, baking, and “Bachelor” watch parties with friends.
