Sami Donovan, LCPC
Therapist
I believe in meeting people exactly where they are, not where they think they should be. You don’t need to act, feel, or show up to sessions in a certain way. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down and breathe while we explore what is happening in your life. Together we will look at your strengths, values, emotions, and experiences to better understand the patterns that may be contributing to challenges or keeping you stuck. From there, we can identify meaningful goals and work toward greater balance, clarity, and life satisfaction.
