My Mission

Love, joy, and meaning come alive when we serve others. True fulfillment is found not just in what we receive, but in how we give, connect, and heal together. I am devoted to walking alongside individuals, couples, and families who yearn for a deeper and more loving connection. As a therapist, speaker, and writer, my mission is to help you cultivate relationships that are resilient, compassionate, and deeply aligned with your values—so that love isn’t just something you feel, but something you live.

Sam Wasfi, MS, LMFT

I am a Christian and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over fifteen years of experience specializing in couples therapy. I integrate the Gottman Method with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—two of the most research-backed approaches for helping couples repair, reconnect, and build lasting intimacy. But beyond the science, my work is deeply personal. I’ve sat in the client’s chair myself. I know firsthand how vulnerable this process can feel; the courage it takes to face your relationship struggles head-on; and I also know the transformation that’s possible when two people commit to doing the hard work together.

How can we help you find the resources, tools and support you need?
