what they’re saying…

  • "I started therapy during a very difficult time in my life. Specifically, a forthcoming divorce after finding out about my partner's affair. Even more troubling was that times were good when it happened, although we were overwhelmed with young kids who I feared were going to have a very negative reaction to this new reality. I quickly realized I needed to begin processing the vast array of emotions that were flowing as a result. Anger, sadness, frustration, anxiety, shame, you name it. I tried a couple of other providers but it felt a little textbook and unhelpful. That kind of fed into my bias that therapy wasn't a solution. Then I found Silver Birch and started working with Sammy. It's been a game changer. It hasn't been a miracle fix or an abrupt pivot to smooth seas; rather, it's been a safe space to talk, feel, and get things out in the open. It's a place to address deep-seated emotions, process them, and move forward towards forgiveness and acceptance. There's no pressure or judgment so everything is on the table. I'm on the early side of this journey and the road is long, but I can honestly say I've felt more confident in overcoming this life experience while finding joy in the process since starting therapy. I remain more present in my everyday life as well, whether it's from the tools I've gained from speaking openly about my issues or simply to mark it down in my mind as something to discuss during my next session. That alone has helped immeasurably. I've even found myself being open with friends and family about therapy. I now realize how much of benefit everyone can get from talking to someone. It just has to be the right person and feel. Silver Birch, and Sammy in my situation, was the perfect fit. I can't recommend them enough."

  • "It has not been long since I started therapy with Sammy, but I love being able to have a safe place to talk about what is going on and I am going through, and I don't hold things in anymore as I have gained the skills to speak freely about how I am feeling not only int therapy by with all the people around me."

  • "Sammy has always been open, honest, and non judging when I’m in therapy with her, but also knows how to end the session with a laugh. I appreciate her pushing me to work on things I was hesitant about, knowing it will help and it’s the right time, but also at my pace."

  • "My biggest fear in being vulnerable is being judged afterwards. I have been struggling with life and relationship issues for awhile. I found Sammy my therapist one day just scrolling on facebook and decided to give it a try.I was very nervous and had my doubts because it was Facebook. Let’s just say that it was the best decision I made that day.The process was super simple. Basic info and an email. Afterwards there was a confirmation email. Super easy and user friendly.Sammy called me the same day I believe to set up our first appointment. I never was rushed. I am now on my 6th or 7th upcoming appointment and I will just say that it has been a pleasure working with her. I have went thru my fair share of therapists and after just 15 minutes of meeting her I felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Sammy has helped me tremendously in a short time. I was at my lowest and after the first appointment was over I felt like there was hope. We have a lot to go over but we are working thru it at a good pace. I highly recommend anyone struggling with anything or you just need someone to talk to just go ahead and give them a try. Silver birch has turned a lot of things around in my life in a short time. Highly recommended.I would also like to mention the prices are great as well. I personally do not have insurance and they are very affordable. Good luck on your journey everyone!"

Life’s been dialing up the chaos lately, huh?

Therapy can feel like a big leap—even from the comfort of your couch (shoutout to virtual therapy for that luxury). 

And hey, I get it—you might be thinking, Will I vibe with this therapist? What if it’s awkward, full of weird pauses, or I come off as too much?  (Spoiler: never that!)

The way I see it? By session one, we’ll likely hit it off with chats that feel like heart-to-hearts—some real talk and giggles carrying us through the tough stuff. 

With a personalized plan mixed up just for you—whether it’s life-changing EMDR or results-driven strategies—before you know it, you’re pumped to log into next week’s session. 

And those ALL consuming anxious thoughts? Finally dialed down.

Therapy’s badass like that.

A peek into our session looks like …

A space where you can be fully you. Whether you want to dive into that trauma hitting like a freight train mid-coffee order or the coping mechanism that went from fun to out of control—you’re safe here, no judgment.

I’ve walked my own path through anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and addiction’s ripple effects, tackling obstacles others thought I couldn’t—so yeah, I get it.

We’ll laugh (a lot), but make no mistake—real work happens here. This isn’t just feel-good pep talks; it’s lasting transformations. 

Healing doesn’t have to be all serious vibes, though. Whether it’s cheering on your strengths, a tear-filled vent session, or laughing ‘til you cry over a semi-traumatic-but-funny childhood story, we’ll do what works for you.

I work best with: highly driven folks ready to put in the work—without taking life too seriously. If you’re up for some laughs while breaking out of your shell and taking charge of your life, we’ll get along just fine.
