Sam Wasfi, LMFT

Maybe you feel stuck in a cycle of miscommunication, where every conversation turns into an argument. Perhaps trust has been broken, and you wonder if it can ever be rebuilt. Or maybe the distance between you has grown so wide that you barely recognize the person beside you. Relationships don’t struggle because of a lack of love—they struggle under the weight of unmet needs, unresolved wounds, and loneliness. But here’s the good news: healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Jason Olin

Most of my clients are smart, creative and savvy professionals, and they usually have a pretty good sense of why they're seeking help. It may be due to relationship challenges. It may due to managing ADHD, depression or anxiety. It may be due to managing the pressures of work or of family. What my clients have in common is the desire to work closely on their challenges, and the ability to make a connection with their therapist, in this case, me!
