you might be in the right place if:
- You’re outwardly capable, but internally often second-guess your needs
- You’ve learned to adapt, mask, or over-accommodate to maintain connection
- You feel tired of managing yourself and want to understand yourself more deeply
- You’re curious about patterns, parts of yourself, and how your inner world works
- You want to feel more grounded in your body and trust your inner signals
- You want to be in relationship without losing your sense of self
- You may identify as neurodivergent—or simply feel that your way of being doesn’t fit neatly into standard frameworks.
you don't need to fix yourself.
You need to understand yourself.
Many people have learned to reshape themselves in order to belong—at work, in relationships, and even within their own families. Over time, this can create a deep disconnection from your needs, instincts, and inner truth.
My work is for people who want to return to themselves: to understand the inner parts that drive their patterns, build self-trust, and live with more clarity, agency, and integrity.
My approach:
My approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when we slow down and get curious about our experience.
Rather than focusing only on symptom management or surface-level coping, we explore your inner system: the parts of you that developed to keep you safe, connected, or functioning, and the needs they’ve been carrying for a long time.
Over time, this work supports you in trusting your inner guide instead of abandoning yourself to external expectations.
What this work can support:
- Chronic self-doubt or second-guessing your needs
- People-pleasing, over-accommodating, or self-abandonment patterns
- Feeling disconnected from your body or inner signals
- Masking, identity strain, or neurodivergent burnout
- Anxiety, overwhelm, or difficulty regulating your nervous system
- Relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or unclear
- Difficulty maintaining your sense of self in intimate relationships
- A desire for deeper self-understanding, not just symptom relief
Kind words
"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."
“The Brainspotting sessions with Sammy have been more helpful than any therapy I’ve ever done”
"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."
