“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us”
- David Richo -
Welcome to my practice. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #142583), I work with clients in my office in Los Angeles as well as virtually in the state of California. With my warm gentle nature and holistic approach, I support my clients in uncovering their true resilient selves.
I am deeply passionate about the mind-body connection and the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself after challenging life experiences. My therapeutic style integrates depth therapy with trauma-informed somatic practices, mindfulness, parts-work, and self-compassion. I also use EMDR, Brainspotting, and the Hakomi Method which help to process and integrate trauma that has been stuck in the body.
I’d love to connect and see if we are a fit in working together.
Hi there, I’m Sam.
My approach.
I see therapy as a journey of discovering the parts of you that have been in hiding – maybe those parts that you’ve thought were unlovable or shameful. In our relationship, we will work together to help you develop a nurturing compassionate relationship to all of your parts. By cultivating this new relationship with yourself, you’ll be able to connect to your inner strength, resiliency, and self-esteem.
Specialties: trauma, PTSD, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, grief, perfectionism, life transitions, relationships, dating, identity, spirituality, sexuality, and creativity.
As an integrative therapist, I draw from a variety of modalities. Together we will co-create a therapeutic journey that best supports your goals.
Therapeutic Style: psychodynamic, depth therapy, mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, self-compassion, parts work, somatic therapy (Hakomi Method, Trauma Resilency Model), trauma processing (EMDR, Brainspotting)
