Hello
Let me start off by introducing myself - I'm Samantha.
I am a mental health counselor by day and a beach enthusiast, sports fanatic, and lover of new experiences by night. On the weekends you could catch me hanging out with friends or family playing games, adventuring out on the water, or enjoying a good 'vibe.' Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy a good Netflix series.
Whether I'm with my friends or in the counseling room with you, you're going to get someone who is warm, caring, and attentive. I invest in those around me, and as your counselor that means getting to know you, learning your story, and putting in the work to best serve you. I value you, believe in you, and hold hope for your growth and change.
I'm glad you're here. Now, I can't wait to learn about you.
-Samantha

My Story
It was back in high school when I knew I wanted to be a counselor. I had a conversation with my mom that brought me to the realization that listening to people's stories and helping others is actually a profession. It's always just felt innate to me. I've been the friend that people go to for advice or confide in about their deepest thoughts and feelings, and my heart was to help them stop hurting. While my understanding and knowledge of what counseling actually looks like has changed and evolved, what has remained constant is my care for people, my nature for helping, and the joy of deeply knowing and connecting with others. It's an honor to be a part of hurt turning to healing, despair turning to hope, and difficulties turning into growth. After all, "owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do." (Brene Brown)
