About Us

I’m Sam, and I’m a relationship therapist. I believe healthy relationships are an essential pathway to individual and collective healing. In our work together, we will identify some of your core relationship patterns and find their origins, often stemming from your childhood. I’ll help you become more aware of your individual thoughts, feelings, and underlying motives in your relationship so that you can learn to understand and take responsibility for the impacts of your behaviors on each other. Ultimately, I hope to help you find ways to care for each other that feel nourishing, consensual, and interdependent. , I specialize in working with non-traditional couples and relationships (queer, poly/CNM, etc.), though I work extensively with all types of relationships. I pull from multiple theoretical sources for couples and relationship therapy but am predominantly informed by the following: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and IFS Couples Therapy. , Many couples modalities, however, have been developed from a traditional relationship lens. I pull from feminist and queer theories to inform a more expansive view of intimate relationship. My own positioning as a white, queer, trans person informs this viewpoint. If it seems like I could be a good fit for you, reach out to set up a consultation.
