You’re Not Broken—You’re Just Tired of Treading Water
Life is a beach...
Except, you’re left alone in turbulent waters, with the waves controlling and pressuring you in every direction.
You have tried to handle it yourself because, after all, you’ve been taught to "adapt and overcome" with the expectation that you always have your sh*t together.
But on the surface, you’re struggling to stay afloat, even though the shore is in sight.
I’ve sailed on this ship and I’m here to help you navigate these unexpected tides.
Seeking therapeutic help isn't easy. Sometimes life can feel as if we are treading water just to keep afloat.
Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other issues,
therapy can be your lifesaver.

Hi, I’m Sam—Your Trauma Therapist for When You’re Ready to Heal Beyond Survival Mode
You’re here because you’re ready for a change, taking a courageous step toward finding the right therapist. If you’re part of a military family, consider yourself doubly welcomed. As a military social worker, spouse, and daughter, I understand the unique challenges the military faces.
My mission is to provide safe, accessible, and convenient counseling to support those who serve our communities.
Connecting with a therapist is a vital part of your healing journey, helping you navigate rough waters, guiding you to a safe shore, and discovering the answers you seek.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of military life - struggling to maintain your sense of self and find fulfillment?
Do you often feel on edge, unable to relax or truly enjoy quality time with loved ones?
Is accessing the care and support you deserve after serving your country a constant battle?
I help military families, helpers, and trauma survivors process what’s been hard—so they can reconnect, rebuild, and heal.
