Anthurium is the strongest plant on Earth, blooming year round. Anthurium is resilient, thriving with consistent and thoughtful care. Anthurium’s bloom represents strength and perseverance. When we are ready to give ourselves the care required to start therapy, we too can find strength, persevere and bloom much like the Anthurium.

Sam (She/They) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Madison, Wisconsin. Her professional career has been inspired by her own personal identities, experiences and commitment to their collective community.

In the therapy space there is no judgement. It is a safe space to explore your past and present, your patterns of behavior and what you want for yourself. Together we will process and gain insight to better understand your experiences, your relationships, and the systems that impact you. Collaboratively, we will create a path forward, developing new coping strategies, setting boundaries, and challenging old patterns that no longer serve you.

You are the expert of your life. Sam will help you gain insight, challenge you, and support you through the process.
