Affirming and inclusive mental health therapy for all adults in Texas. Breaking cycles, one step at a time.

I help adults break free from cycles of shame by guiding them to connect with and understand the different parts of themselves in a compassionate, supportive space—creating room for generational healing and balance in the here and now.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am. Then I can change.”

Hi, I’m Sam (she/her), owner and licensed psychotherapist of Root and Ember Counseling PLLC.

I created Root and Ember with the vision of diving deep—getting to the root of what’s beneath the surface, not just addressing symptoms. Grounded in this depth, I hope to help you turn what feels lost into something vibrant, meaningful, and spirited.
