“If you've been putting this off, you're in the majority. Most people sit with it for two years. You don't need a crisis, a diagnosis, or a perfectly worded email — a simple 'hi' is enough.”

What we help with

The stuff people actually come in for.

Anxiety & stress

Racing thoughts, tight chest, the 3am ceiling stare. We'll untangle what's driving it and build tools that actually hold up under pressure.

Depression & burnout

When everything's heavy and flat. Practical, paced support to get your energy, interest, and self back online.

Relationships & life stuff

Partner friction, family patterns, big transitions, decisions that won't decide themselves. A clear-eyed outside perspective helps.

Something else on your mind? Ask — the answer is usually yes.

Getting started is genuinely simple.

Three steps, no hoops. Most people go from first message to first session inside two weeks.

Say hello

Message or call. You'll hear back the same business day — from a person, not a portal.

Free 15-minute fit check

A quick, honest call about what you need and whether we're the right match. If we're not, we'll point you to someone who is.

Book and begin

Pick a time that actually works — early mornings, evenings, or lunch breaks, in the office or on video. That's it. You've started.

About

Hi — I'm Sam

Licensed professional counselor, fifteen years in, and allergic to making therapy feel complicated. People come to me for anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and the general weight of being a person right now. My approach is practical and warm: we figure out what's not working, and we work on it. That's the whole mystery.

Simple, honest pricing.

One flat rate, everything included, no surprises at checkout.

Session fee: $140 per 50-minute session · Sliding scale available
Insurance: In-network with several major plans, and superbills provided for everyone else — we'll confirm your exact cost before your first appointment.
Sliding scale: Money shouldn't be the reason you don't start. Ask about reduced-rate spots — no essay required.

Fair questions

The things people ask before they book.

$140 per 50-minute session, flat. We're in-network with several major insurance plans, and if we're not in yours, you get a superbill for reimbursement. Sliding-scale spots exist too — just ask. You'll know your exact number before your first appointment.
