Licensed Counseling in Oregon and Maryland

Acceptance + Commitment + Independence

 

I provide clinical expertise and guidance in a safe and supportive environment.

Adults and Couples are welcome

Do you feel trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Are you unable to escape negative thoughts? Have you forgotten why you made the decisions that led you to this moment? Talk therapy can offer a way forward. Therapy can be a safe space to catch your breath, to talk out ideas that feel strange or risky, and to devise a new strategy for reconnecting with your best self.

With over 17 years of experience providing individual therapy and related services such as career counseling, case management, and mental health assessment, I have developed expertise in assisting people facing a wide range of psychiatric issues and challenging transitions.

All services offered are LGBTQIA affirming.

APPOINTMENTS

After 5 years in private practice in Oregon I moved in 2019 to Kensington, MD where I now reside. Currently all of my services are via telehealth video chat. Most of my clients love the convenience, comfort, and privacy of telehealth. This also means I can meet you wherever you are in the states of Maryland and Oregon. For those who prefer an in-person therapy experience, I may be able to accommodate that by providing home visits if you live in Southern or Central Montgomery County Maryland.

My standard rate is $150 per 50 minute session for both couples and individuals. Currently due to very high demand I have had to institute a wait list for sliding scale services. If you are experiencing unemployment, earning less than a living wage, or enrolled as a full time student and are interested in therapy at a reduced rate please let me know and I will add you to a (very short) waiting list. Unfortunately I cannot offer couples reduced rates at this time.

I provide a one-time free phone or video consultation for first time clients to see if my services fit your goals.

Payment is accepted via check, Zelle, or PayPal at this time. I also can provide billing documentation so that you can apply for repayment via “out of network” benefits if you are on PPO insurance. I also accept payment from HSA/FSA plans.

Client Testimonials

 

Sam is a patient, attentive listener who genuinely cares.  He allows you to open up at your own pace and seems to ask questions at the perfect time for you to have an "a-ha" moment about yourself.  I would recommend Sam especially to anyone who is highly sensitive and/or anxious since he is so warm and welcoming.”  -C

 

"Sam is the easiest person on the planet I've ever talked to. He listens without judgement, is professional yet relatable, and can give spot-on analysis and advice pertaining to whatever you're talking about. Highly recommended." -K

“When I first started working with Sam, it seemed likely that my struggles with technology use, task completion, and time management were going to be the catalyst for my relationship ending and cause me to drop out of graduate school. Today my relationship is stronger than ever, and I completed my masters degree last month.  Not only has he helped me understand myself better, he has helped me discover and implement tangible, low-to-the-ground strategies to change habits and behavior I have wanted to change for years. I am certainly not perfect, but I am much more present in my life and accepting of my shortcomings. Sam has been instrumental in facilitating this growth, and I unreservedly recommend him to others struggling with similar problems.” -DF

“Sam provided couples therapy during a period of transition in our relationship. We were very pleased with the way he sets a welcoming and open tone. He provides structure when needed, but is especially skilled at holding space for whatever challenges come up during a session” -R+K
