My services
In person Therapy - In-person therapy at the Soul Rays Wellness office in Bloomington offers space to slow down, feel seen, and reconnect with yourself. These self-pay sessions are shaped around your unique needs and may draw from IFS and parts work, attachment-focused therapy, play, art, and sand tray experiences.
Telehealth -Virtual therapy offers meaningful connection and support wherever you feel most comfortable. Telehealth sessions are provided through Orka Health and Wellness, where most major insurance plans are accepted.
Case Consultation - Case consultation provides educators and therapists with a collaborative space to explore complex situations, strengthen their understanding, and discover thoughtful ways forward. Together, we can consider relational dynamics, attachment needs, and creative or parts-based approaches while honoring the strengths of everyone involved.
LICSW Supervision - LICSW supervision is available for clinicians completing the clinical hours required for independent licensure. Supervision is reflective, supportive, and grounded in helping you build confidence, deepen your clinical judgment, and develop an authentic professional identity.

Hi, I’m Sam
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over a decade of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. I created Soul Rays Wellness because I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there beneath the stress, pain, and protective layers.
My approach is rooted in curiosity rather than judgment. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with you?" I ask, "What is this part of you trying to protect?" I believe that anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, and emotional overwhelm are often intelligent adaptations that deserve understanding, not shame.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults, including those with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD, as well as individuals navigating trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, sensory differences, and life transitions. My work integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, nervous system science, and creative approaches like play, sand tray, imagery, and metaphor to help people understand themselves in deeper, more compassionate ways.
As someone who is also neurodivergent, I know how exhausting it can be to feel misunderstood or to believe you have to hide parts of yourself to belong. That experience has shaped the therapist I strive to be—one who creates a space where every part of you is welcome.
The name Soul Rays Wellness reflects what I believe about every person: beneath our protective parts is a Self that has never been broken. My hope is to help you reconnect with that inner light so you can move through life with greater authenticity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I'm honored to walk alongside you as you discover that healing isn't about fixing who you are—it's about helping every part of you shine.
