Mark Twain once said that the two most important days of your life are the day you’re born, and the day you find out why.

Do you know your why?

My clients struggle with life just like you. They want more in life and have struggled to find this fullness and meaning. They are hurting from wounds from the past, difficulties in present-day relationships, and wrestle with self-worth.

Just like you, they have tried everything they can think of to help themselves, perhaps even trying therapy or counseling before. And like you, they want a place to explore life in a nonjudgmental and safe environment. My goal is to walk with and alongside you as you explore the joys, pains, and rough patches of life. 

There are many intersections and stories of your life that come into play for you today, even now as you consider therapy. Therapy involves the exploration of these stories, and the hope of something new. Through therapy you can deepen relational intimacy, break free from difficult life patterns, and discover what it means to live more truthfully. 

Let’s connect and get started on helping you heal and find hope, and discover your why.

Counseling with Samuel

:: Experience ::
Licensed Professional Counselor, Mental Health Service Provider (TN License #2618)

I specialize in working with men who are wrestling with what it means to be a man, sexual integrity, addictions, relationship or work issues, and anger management. I challenge men to explore their masculinity by challenging pervasive, and sometimes harmful, cultural stereotypes.

I help women who are looking to find and reclaim their voice in their relationships, working through issues of sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, difficulty in family relationships, self esteem, and codependency.

Couples have five areas of content they fight about: Sex, kids, money, in-laws, and technology. Each couple has a unique process they follow as they attempt to resolve these issues. I guide couples through these difficult and sometimes perpetual issues to find hope, healing, and a new process. Together we will sort through these and other challenges to foster mutual love and respect. I help couples to identify and move beyond their negative patterns of relating and construct new relational styles built upon honesty, respect, responsibility, and vulnerability.

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him or around him and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” ~ Dostoevsky
