My name is Samm. I am a liberation therapist that works within a relational-cultural framework and through a trauma informed lens. I believe that our relationships and connection with self and others are the heart of well-being. Many of the barriers we face to our mental and physical well-being are a result of outdated structures, systems and unhea

In addition to traditional therapy, I al

It can feel overwhelming, whether you are making intentional, positive changes in your life, or dealing with unexpected or unwanted events.

Are you pregnant or have you recently given birth? Are you struggling with managing your emotions, new responsibilities, and a new identity? You are not alone! I work with mothers, fathers, and caretakers to help support them during this complex life transition to parenthood. I have recently embarked on my own journey to motherhood, and strongly fe
We often think of ourselves as what we are given, but instead it's what we make of what we're given. I am guided by a view of identity as a creative narrative and see distress as often occurring when we feel stuck in that creation, bound to a self and life that isn't working.
