HI!! My name is Samantha. Although everyone calls me Sam. I am an LPC, I have been fully licensed since December 2025. I like to help find solutions to help in times of confusion and uncertainty.

Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington.

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed by the weight of responsibility and emotions they’ve been holding alone, some for a long time. They are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationship stress, or trauma that keep showing up in current life in ways they don’t fully understand. They want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to themselves — not constantly reacting from fear, guilt, or survival mode. Their goal isn’t just to “cope,” but to actually heal and create a life that feels peaceful, balanced,and aligned with who they are. They want clarity — to understand what’s happening inside them and why.
