Hi there! I'm Samantha, a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida. My passion for mental health care began when I took my first psychology class in high school. I completed my Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree at the University of North Florida with a major in Psychology and minor in Sociology. I went to graduate school at Nova Southeastern University and obtained a Master of Science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will begin by introductions, then move right into discussing the specific challenges you're dealing with and any other pertinent information. From there, I can develop a personalized strategy for our future sessions and we will re-evaluate as needed. I am also happy to answer any questions you may have!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I've provided individual, group and family therapy to help people overcome trauma, build self-esteem, decrease anxiety and depression, increase productivity, defeat drug/alcohol addiction and so much more. I am also trauma-informed/trained in Rapid Resolution Therapy. I have completed internships at a Head Start pre-school and another internship at a Department of Juvenile Justice alternative high school. I have work experience at substance abuse/mental health dual diagnosis treatment centers at all levels of care and am currently working at my private practice doing telehealth therapy.
