About Samantha
I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia, psychological skills trainer, and mindset and manifestation coach. I work with adult (18+) individuals experiencing various mental health, relationship, and career challenges, role and life transitions, and various other issues. My education includes a Bachelor's of Arts in Communication from the University of Kentucky and a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. My specialized training includes compassion based cognitive therapy (CBCT), trauma informed mindful cognitive behavior therapy (TI-MCBT), SMART recovery, grief/bereavement counseling, end of life counseling, assertiveness and boundaries, self-esteem and confidence, conflict resolution, communication, and many other teachable and trainable skills that aid you in transformation and empowering you to take good care of yourself. You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, stuck, or mentally and emotionally exhausted. Anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship, or work stress may be weighing you down, making it hard to feel like yourself. Deep down, you want to feel more confident, calm, empowered, and connected-but you're not sure how to get there. You may be looking for clarity, tools, and support from someone who gets it. You want more than just coping-you want change that feels real and lasting. I work with adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and make intentional shifts in how they feel, think, and live through gaining knowledge, skills, self-awareness, and having new experiences. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Counseling and therapy can be a place of safety, insight, growth, humor, meaning, and real transformation. My approach is warm, kind, and collaborative and I can also be direct and challenging when necessary to help you stay on track and focused on what matters most to you. If you want to feel more empowered, aligned, and meet the next version of yourself, I’d be honored to partner with you. Incredible inner and outer change can occur when we are witnessed, non-judgementally, and seen through radical acceptance. My goal is to empower you to make the choice of how you want to see yourself and your life and help you gain the knowledge, coping skills, and self-awareness needed to define, create, and maintain change. Counseling can help you to discover yourself in new ways and learn healthy ways of coping. Through a strengths based approach, I can help you realize and lean into your strengths while strengthening any areas of improvement you wish to address. I offer interpersonal, person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care. Depending on the unique needs of my clients, I may utilize techniques and interventions from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectic behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, somatic (body based) therapies, mindfulness, existentialism, and spirituality (if welcome).
