Sam has been in practice for 7 years. She started her education in New York City at Marymount Manhattan College achieving her Bachelors in Psychology & Theatre Studies. She then attended California Institute of Integral Studies 3 year program in San Francisco, CA for her Masters in Clinical Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Drama Therapy. She completed her associateship in Community Mental Health Clinics, IOP Programs, and Private Practice settings before opening her own practice.

Sam combines her clinical and creative therapy approaches with holistic and multicultural theories. She’s direct, collaborative, and is guilty of making an occasional dad joke during sessions. She is passionate about helping others integrate the parts of themselves that feel paradoxical, find a sense of peace, navigate transitions, and major life redirections.
