Samuel Jackson

My communication style

I use compassionate, honest, and direct discussion, with examples, to grow understanding. It's not about finding blame, but understanding ourselves better to see connections and options. I believe we will naturally grow and succeed when we have what we need, and barriers are removed - just as our physical body heals itself from physical harm.

My journey to mental healthcare

I recognized that strong emotions could make it difficult to enjoy life, good relationships, and reach my goals, and also that it was not realistic to expect to find one answer that solves everything, or that life would be problem-free. I have learned to focus on building life, not perfection.

My goals for you

We'll explore practical options as well as the bigger picture in life to keep things in perspective, manage emotions and efforts to find balance, and allow clients' own strengths to flow and increase. I challenge and encourage where needed, and encourage self-care

Our first session

When I first meet with clients, I like to ask questions to get to know them, find out what they are most concerned about, and understand where they are coming from in life, before I give recommendations. I invite questions and want clients to have a clear understanding of our joint plan for sessions, and to feel comfortable working with me.
