Hello and welcome! I am a Master's level dual board certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Medication management is my specialty, and supportive therapy is part of every visit. I have experience with veterans, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, TBI, severe and persistent mental illness, pregnant women, transient/low income populations, Indian Health Services, geriatrics, trauma, and LGBTQIA2S+ patients. I do not diagnose Autism or ADD/ADHD. I see patients ages 16 and up.
I'm Sam — I work with teens and adults navigating some of life's harder chapters. I've had the chance to work with people carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship stress, and the kind of slow-burn exhaustion that builds when life isn't matching the life you imagined. What matters most to me is that you feel like yourself in the room (or on the screen) — not performing okayness, not bracing for judgment. I'm newer to the field, which means my training is current and evidence-based, and I bring genuine enthusiasm to this work rather than going through the motions. I offer a sliding scale for those who need it. Sessions are available virtually across South Carolina.
My approach to therapy involves an interactive and collaborative style towards self discovery. I prefer to join in with my clients to achieve therapeutic goals that enhance their quality of life. I believe a therapy relationship is designed to facilitate the desired change or seeks to direct these efforts as appropriate for the client and counselor.
I help clients understand what they’re experiencing and build tools they can actually use. Together, we reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve relationships. My approach is supportive, direct, and tailored to you. I also offer EMDR to process past experiences so they have less impact on your present.
