Who Works With Sam
Recovering Couples

Divorce Care

Sam’s Path Into This Work
Sam’s journey into infidelity recovery began nearly twenty years ago—not as a coach, but as a client.
​
Nineteen years ago, he found himself sitting in the office of renowned infidelity counselor Rick Reynolds in Austin, Texas, seeking healing after his own experience with betrayal. That deeply personal journey would ultimately shape his lifelong commitment to helping others heal.
​
Several years later, Sam began working closely with Rick, contributing to the creation of clear, compassionate roadmaps for individuals and couples navigating the aftermath of infidelity. In 2015, when YouTube was still emerging as an educational platform, Rick and Sam turned to video as a faster, more accessible way to reach people in pain—offering connection, guidance, and hope to those trying to save their marriages, themselves, or both.
​
After years of contributing to one of the most influential infidelity recovery platforms in the field, Sam launched his own coaching practice to offer trauma-informed support for individuals, couples, and families rebuilding after betrayal.
