I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults in both individual and couples counseling.

These experiences have allowed me to help clients to improve their overall quality of life and build their confidence with regard to meeting life’s challenges.

Sam has also spent 8 years as an educational consultant and music instructor for several school districts across Pennsylvania.
So much of life's suffering comes not only from the events (traumas, grief, adjustment/transitions, pressure, stress), but our response to the events. Pain, rejection, avoidance, guilt, shame, anxiety, depression - we spend a great deal of time and effort attempting to escape from these places, and yet something truly powerful can happen when we begin to learn how to live functional, collaborative, fulfilling lives with them, rather than attempting to escape.
In our work together, the goal is to walk side-by-side toward a more fulfilling life! I believe that everyone's unique background, lifestyle, and psychological needs merit an individualized approach. I incorporate a variety of cognitive behavioral approaches into my work (ACT, DBT, CPT), and believe that there's a reason behind every action. As a clinician trainee, I take my continued education very seriously, and believe this is reflected in my detail-oriented approach to Therapy.

I am a compassionate and dedicated counselor, holding both a LPC and a CAADC. I have been practicing in the field of counseling for 10 years. With a focus on substance abuse, I bring expertise in supporting individuals facing challenges related to addiction. My work extends beyond substance abuse to include guiding clients through issues such as relational/family concerns, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief and loss, self-esteem struggles, and career exploration.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing (MI), offering a holistic and personalized treatment experience. I am committed to helping individuals navigate their journey towards healing and personal growth.
