Hi there, for the first time! I'm new to this, so if you are too, we're in the same boat. I'm Sam, and I'm a Master's Level student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at the University of Louisville. After graduation, I intend to get my licensure as an LPCC, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. 

 

It has always been my life's biggest goal and dream to become a counselor, and this next step is so exciting! While I'm still learning, I draw on techniques from mostly Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My primary interests lie in learning about mood disorders, eating disorders, and sexual assault, but I am open to a variety of clients from different backgrounds with different stories. At the end of the day, human connection is my passion. 

 

Life can be hard, and I truly believe that is part of the human experience. No matter how hard things may get, I also believe that there is always hope. Letting me walk through your life's journey with you would be such a great honor. 

 

A little bit about me: I absolutely love nature and am passionate about fitness, which makes hiking one of my favorite activities! Traveling and hiking is my paradise, like two years ago when I had the opportunity to go to Yosemite. Outside of those things, I'm probably cooking, watching a good movie, or eating Graeter's ice cream.
