Sami utilizes an integrative approach to therapy to fit the needs and goals of each individual. The evidenced based treatment modalities that Sami practices includes: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Sami identifies herself as a Health At Every Size (HAES) clinician, and she is very passionate about providing weight inclusive healthcare to all of her clients. Sami’s personal experience drives her as a clinician to want to help other’s recover from their own struggles with eating disorders and/or disordered eating. Sami’s goal as a clinician is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can openly share their story, struggles, and goals. She recognizes that everyone’s story is their own, and it is imperative in the work that Sami does to meet each individual where they are at in their journey, and tailor treatment depending upon individual needs.
