Sam is a Licensed Certified Social Worker who graduated from the University of Denver with her Masters in Social Work and a Certificate in Animal Assisted Social Work. She has experience working with clients across the lifespan and is especially passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families. Sam takes a holistic, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach to therapy. She is committed to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and grow—at their own pace and on their own terms. Her integrative, strengths-based style draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), child-centered play therapy, and motivational interviewing. Through this flexible approach, Sam empowers clients by helping them recognize their inner strengths, build resilience, and take an active role in their healing journey.
At the heart of her work is a deep belief in the power of connection, empathy, and honoring each individual’s inner strengths. She strives to meet clients exactly where they are, while offering compassion and practical tools to support them through life’s challenges.
