Greetings! It’s my passion and pleasure to support individuals who are looking to make meaningful changes in their life. I believe that our natural state is one of health and balance—feeling at peace, worthy, and capable. Life’s negative experiences can temporarily disrupt this state, leading to negative feelings and emotions. We intuitively sense something is off through our 'negative' emotions such as anger, sadness, or fear. I view all feelings as inherently neutral; they are signals indicating whether we are in or out of alignment with our true selves. Emotions don’t exist in isolation—they serve as guides, bringing our attention to what we believe about ourselves and the situations we encounter. My role is to identify the beliefs underlying these emotions and to help you make the necessary changes in thoughts, behaviors, and actions to restore balance and reconnect with your natural state. In terms of modalities, I draw from a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. I’m flexible and adapt my methods to suit each client’s unique needs, rather than fitting clients into a predefined model. I also incorporate principles of Human Design into my practice, using this unique system to provide additional insights into personal strengths, challenges, and life patterns, enhancing the therapeutic process. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in San Diego, California, with eight years of experience. I have worked with diverse populations including active-duty military, first responders, corporate professionals, retirees, young adults, and the homeless. Before transitioning to mental health, I worked in various corporate roles in IT and finance. Following my passion, I changed careers to support others on their journey to well-being.

Hi, I'm Sam (totally fine if you call me Samantha). I believe therapy works best when the process is collaborative and authentic. I create a space each session that feels emotionally safe meaning you are encouraged to speak freely about your thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences. Clients have shared that they appreciate the meaningful feedback and thoughtful direction I provide during our sessions, and I strive to balance support with practical guidance. Outside of work you can find me reading nonfiction, cooking (or enjoying!) good food, listening to true crime podcasts, or chasing my toddler son around—who, it turns out, is incredibly fast and has mastered the word "no." I also love relaxing on my patio while BBQing, attempting to grow things in my garden, and spending time with my family.
