Hello there! I'm Sam, a Clinical Social Worker on a mission to create a space where young adults can thrive, grow, and embrace the beauty of life. With a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy, my approach is as dynamic and diverse as the incredible individuals I have the privilege to work with.

As a firm believer in the power of thoughts and behaviors, I utilize components of CBT in my therapeutic approach. We'll work together to unravel unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thoughts, and develop practical strategies to reshape your mindset. Let's empower you to take charge of your narrative.

Life is a rollercoaster, and sometimes, it's about learning to enjoy the ride. ACT allows us to embrace life's challenges while staying true to our values. Together, we'll explore your values, practice mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action, creating a roadmap for a fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

As a proud millennial myself, I know the importance that pop-culture, media, video games, books and technology plays in our life. I bring a unique understanding of the challenges and triumphs that come with navigating young adulthood. In our sessions, you won't encounter a generation gap – instead, you'll find a relatable companion who speaks your language and embraces the digital age. Whether you want to explore the meaning of your favorite Taylor Swift song, laugh about viral tik toks, or talk about the your favorite books, I want to share and relish in your passions and interests.

In my free time I enjoy reading, exploring neighborhoods around Chicago, listening to Taylor Swift and spending time with friends.
