Hey there, I’m Sam.

I’m a Licensed Therapist providing in-person therapy in San Francisco (SoMa).

I help self-possessed, high-achieving people navigate the most overwhelming chapters of their lives: many of them are relentless self-improvers who are always seeking meaning and that perfect partnership, but fear losing control and don’t know why it hasn’t worked out yet.

I help you reconnect with meaning, purpose, and your real self—it’s okay if you’re not sure who that is yet.

I specialize in working with perfectionists, rebels, and closet type A's who want to say “fuck it” — but are too afraid of what’s at stake 

If you feel misunderstood, you are in the right place. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you get real—to change the things that aren’t working. And find freedom and fulfillment by connecting with who you actually are.

I will guide you in exploring your conditioning, beliefs, and attitudes while empowering you to take responsibility for the choices in your life to ultimately become more free.

I take a here and now, direct approach (East Coast) to exploring what matters to you, why you’re stuck, and how to navigate anxiety, addiction, burnout, or disconnection.

I’m trained in EMDR Therapy to help reprocess old beliefs, so that you can operate in your truth, not your triggers.

Fear and anxiety has you going through the motions every day, but you yearn for so much more and it hasn’t felt possible. You’ve read the books, tried the apps, even asked ChatGPT, but something’s still missing. What you need is not more information — it’s space to breathe without needing to optimize every move, every decision, and actually discover who you are beyond the pressure.

You might find yourself thinking:

What if I never find my purpose?

I can see myself staying in this job/relationship/business partnership/role forever and that scares the crap out of me.

"Loving yourself “is for soft people who don’t get real life.

I can't stop a habit I know is hurting me but nothing else helps me relax.

You figure out hard things all the time because you get things done, but when it comes to this, feel stuck, lost and frustrated. You deserve to feel ease and contentment — and it’s possible.
