Nice to meet you!

I’m Sammy.

Do you ever feel like your emotions are imbalanced, and you can't put your finger on why or how to manage them? Sometimes, when our feelings are unpredictable, it can lead to added stress, panic attacks, and personal reactions that may catch us off guard. Trauma, anxiety, and significant life changes, like a move or new job, can affect the way we respond in sensitive circumstances. You may want to discover the why, or you may just want to figure out a solution to regulate the turbulence and navigate the uncertainty.

Growing up as a quiet child, I learned how to observe and listen, and I realized that I loved learning about other people’s stories. Eventually, I noticed that my friends and family began coming to me for a safe space to share their experiences and things in their lives that they were struggling with. My own history with trauma has given me a deeper empathy and capacity for compassion toward others experiencing similar situations. At first, I wasn’t sure that I wanted my therapy focus to be on trauma. However, after working with clients who faced severe traumas in the workplace as well as families with loved ones in critical care, I knew that I needed to. Becoming certified in EMDR and integrating this with internal family systems has really expanded the ways that I can assist my clients with their trauma and anxiety and help them find healing within themselves.
