About

Hi, I’m Samantha—I believe that every person has the potential to live a fulfilling life, no matter the challenges they’ve faced. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and values so you can move forward with confidence and clarity. I take a person-centered, empathetic approach to therapy, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly seen and heard. I believe healing begins when we can explore our stories with honesty and curiosity. Through that exploration, I help clients uncover what’s most meaningful to them and develop tools that support growth, resilience, and personal empowerment. In addition to my counseling work, I am passionate about holistic wellness. I teach yoga, meditation, and mindfulness—practices that often inform the therapeutic space by helping clients slow down, tune in, and stay grounded. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy horseback riding, hiking around Nashville with friends, and playing guitar. Live music, creativity, and time in nature help keep me connected to the things I value most—and I love helping clients find what brings them that same sense of peace and joy. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with care, curiosity, and encouragement, I’d be honored to support your journey.
