Hi! I am Sammi.
I am here to connect you and your teen with one of our fantastic, trustworthy, and qualified therapists, while helping to make sure the process runs smoothly for all involved. Warmth, humor, and transparency are the qualities I work to embody when we are communicating - it’s important to me that you feel engaged as a whole human when embarking on the traditionally difficult process of finding a therapist.
As both a Social Worker and an Artist, I find great joy in communing with people, the earth, and the fascinating and complex world we have created. Curiosity and passion have guided my work - I bring experience in connecting all sorts of people with therapists, fighting generational trauma with women experiencing incarceration, helping create self-care programs with disaster responders, and connecting across cultural barriers with migrants through art and food.
When life gets tough as it often does, I like to ground myself by spending time moving my body in the sun, trying to teach my dog how to climb trees (she’s getting there!), and experiencing/making music with my loved ones.
One thing I know myself is that connecting regularly with a trusted presence has the power to change our lives for the better. I feel incredibly passionate about helping parents, teens, and their families know the safety of therapy as well, and I am so happy to be here with you!
