Hi! I’m Sammi, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. There are a lot of good reasons to go to therapy, whether you’re going through something very difficult, seeking counseling as self-care, or trying to cope with the stress of a world that never seems to listen when we beg it to calm down and slow down. Science backs the fact that the therapeutic relationship - trust and comfort built between therapist and client - has an enormous impact on mental health outcomes…which also tells us the importance of finding a good fit.

Knowing that, here is my elevator pitch for my work, to help you decide if we might be a good fit for each other! My number one goal is to create a safe and comfortable space for individuals to be their most authentic selves. I work hard to meet people where they’re at with acceptance and grace. I have experience working with teenagers (13+) and adults of all ages, utilizing an individualized, person-centered approach where I include tools from several evidence-backed therapy strategies such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and more. It is also important to me that I create a space supporting LGBTQIA+ identity, gender affirming care, neurodiversity, trauma informed care, and safety for other marginalized communities.

It is human to struggle, and okay to need reminders how NOT alone you are. Let’s work together to get you the skills and support you need to survive and thrive.

I have experience providing therapy in a variety of areas for teens and adults, but some of my specialties include:
-Anxiety
-LGBTQIA+ counseling
-Self-esteem
-Healthy boundary setting
-Depression
-Young adult life transition/increasing independence

I am a resource for providing evaluation/writing letters for gender affirming medical care.
