About Sam
I love supporting neurodiverse folks with struggles like suicidal ideation, Borderline, DID, PTSD, psychosis, depression, anxiety and substance use. I will help you heal wounds, reclaim safety, rebuild trust, create meaning, find your voice and connect to your higher purpose. We will take a close look at your relationship with yourself and explore how we can improve hit through the practice of healthy coping skills, self-care and reparenting.
We will also reflect on your relationships with others and explore how effective communication skills, healthy limits and boundaries and the cultivation of empathy may be able to enhance them.
My approach
My eclectic approach operates on multiple levels and weaves together a range of modalities. I draw upon CBT, DBT, positive psychology, creative expression and mindfulness for ideas about practical coping and communication skills. For deep healing, I rely heavily on parts work, narrative therapy, psychodrama, existential therapy and somatic experiencing.
About me
Through my study of sociology, I have learned to view mental health struggles within the larger context of late stage capitalism, colonialism, ecological collapse, white supremacy, patriarchy, cis/heteronormativity and ableism. Through this sociological lens, I help clients recognize that they are not the problem. It is the WORLD that is depressing etc.
