The decision to start therapy is a courageous one. I create an open and safe environment for you to embark on your therapeutic journey. In my practice I take a strength-based approach to help you learn and grow. I am interested in exploring who you are as an individual and helping you get where you want to be. Together I hope to build a respectful and collaborative therapeutic alliance.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice with experience in supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. My background includes case management, child and family services, and hospital-based social work within a Level I trauma center. I specialize in helping clients navigate crisis, trauma, and emotional distress with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care.
l earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of South Carolina. My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally focused therapy to help clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and foster healthy connections.
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.
I graduated from Simmons School of Social Work with my MSW with a concentration on trauma treatment. I completed my internship at a community mental health center where I worked as a child trauma clinician. I then spent two years working in a child advocacy center where I was a child therapist and forensic interviewer. I am trained and certified in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and problematic sexual behavior cognitive behavioral therapy for children ages 7-12 (PSB-CBT).

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in North Charleston, SC
Searching for therapists in North Charleston starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look at the concerns they list, the populations they work with, and the therapy approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their style before you book.
In a smaller city like North Charleston, local office options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in South Carolina. Some people prefer meeting in person near Park Circle, Northwoods, Noisette, or the greater Charleston area, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.
Therapy in North Charleston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and view your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in North Charleston, review their profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
