Hi, my name is Samuel.\u00a0Thanks\u00a0for stopping by and reading\/sharing what I’m writing here. I’m often told by friends, clients, and family, “hey, that’s really good,\u00a0you should write about that.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll have a crazy idea or metaphor (I love metaphors) and will share some of those here. I read a lot … books, articles, people, weather, nature, and sports.\u00a0I mainly write about things that I’m reading or considering in my professional work with clients around issues of life, work, relationships, and cultural engagement. Drop me an email, leave a comment on the blog, or hit me up on twitter<\/a>. I’d love to hear what is stirring for you in your life.<\/p>\n

I am passionate about helping people grow and making things (processes, relationships, technologies, etc) work better. Growth is one of the primary motivators for my career as a therapist, business owner, leader, and follower.<\/p>\n

I maintain a\u00a0clinical practice<\/a> working with individuals and couples around issues of addiction recovery (work, substances, sexuality, and screen addictions), relationship challenges (intensives for couples<\/a>), leadership, and codependency. I speak nationally with FamilyLife<\/a> at the Weekend to Remember marriage conferences. You can also find me on twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and my author page on\u00a0Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
