Hi, I'm Sammy.
I am a surfer, yogi, and outdoor enthusiast. Meditation, moving my body, and addressing underlying health issues have been key components to my own mental health. I love to help others identify the pillars in their lives that lay the foundation for radiant health. I can help bridge gaps between mental, physical, and spiritual health to help you achieve our goals and be your most vibrant self.
We might be a good fit if you are self-motivated, ready to make changes, and are willing to be challenged while being held in compassion. I can't wait to hear from you.

Thoughts from my clients
They say the relationship with your counselor is the most important key to success with therapy, and with Sammy, that's the easiest part. She's so easy to connect with. She sees people. She's real. Sammy was made for this role. She knows when to listen, when to guide, and when to validate me. Her instincts, intuition and training make her very effective.
-Past client
Sessions with Sammy allowed me to deconstruct both the ups and downs of my mental state, giving me a higher sense of control and contentment with myself. With Sammy I was able to listen to myself better and feel sure of myself in a way I simply hadn’t before.
-Current Client
I feel more secure in my life, my thinking process and making decisions because I have a safe person and a safe place to think through things. If you are ready to do the work, you never have to guess if Sammy will support you. She was so ready to jump all in with me.
