Serving the La Grange Location
Hi there! I'm Sam, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate. Most of my experience lies in treating anxiety disorders and other related mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma symptoms and related disorders, and general life stressors. Despite this, I am open to a variety of clients from different backgrounds with different stories. At the end of the day, human connection is my passion.
I treat client's based upon their individual needs, which means I draw on techniques from different modalities including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and others when applicable. I aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship and space to allow clients to process anything life throws at them.
Life can be hard, and I truly believe that is part of the human experience. No matter how hard things may get, I also believe that there is always hope. Letting me walk through your life's journey with you would be such a great honor.
A little bit about me: I absolutely love nature and am passionate about fitness, which makes hiking one of my favorite activities! Traveling and hiking combined is my favorite, like two years ago when I had the opportunity to go to Yosemite. Outside of those things, I'm probably cooking, watching a good movie, or eating Graeter's ice cream.
